Has it been 15 years already? I joined Stack Overflow way back in 2008 when the site was in private beta. At the time, I was a full stack developer using ColdFusion and MS SQL Server (don't judge 😜). Shortly thereafter the Web 2.0 thing happened, I got a job working as a front end developer, and I've been in that space ever since.
As moderator for its first year, I helped get ux.stackexchange.com off the ground.
