It's 1995 All Over Again — by Dan Lynn

By Dan Lynn

In 1995, you could feel something enormous beginning. The internet was just arriving, and the possibilities gave me goosebumps. I didn't have it all figured out — nobody did — but it was impossible not to sense that the world was about to change. And it did, more than any of us imagined.

I've waited a long time to feel that again. Now I do. AI is that moment — the same crackle in the air, the same sense that everything is about to be rebuilt, the same goosebumps. It's 1995 all over again.

What I took from the first time around is simple: when a moment like this comes, you don't wait for certainty. You lean in, start building, and learn as it unfolds. None of us can predict where it goes — but it's a privilege to be here for it, and worth making the most of.
