The late 90's was a great time to be alive, and it taught me one lesson that still guides me today:

The dot-com boom was a goldrush, and if you look back to the Klondike goldrush 100 years previous you can notice a pattern. There were two groups of individuals who got rich back then: The guys that got there first, and the guys that sold shovels to everybody else.

It's hard to be that First Guy, but it's easy to notice him and set up a shovel stand.
