Boat anchor of a bookmark folder from 2009 still has my old CSS tricks

I was digging through my old 'web dev' folder the other day and found 47 saved pages for things like image sprite generators and IE6 hacks. Then it hit me that I'd been using a broken float fix from one of those links for years, even after our team moved to flexbox around 2018. A coworker in Austin finally showed me the computed layout panel in Chrome and I felt like an absolute idiot. Anyone else got a graveyard of outdated tutorials they still can't bring themselves to delete?

Buddy of mine kept a folder of PHP functions from 2004 and Copy-Pasted one into a job application last year, broke the whole site because it used mysql_ calls. He still keeps it around, says it's like a museum piece.
