Twenty years ago (!!?!) was the first official release of Fiddler. I still run Fiddler for some task or another almost every working day. I still run my version (Fiddler Classic) although some of the newer tools in the Fiddler Universe are compelling for non-Windows platforms.

I presented some slides in a birthday celebration that Progress Telerik streamed online this morning. Those slides might not make sense without the audio, but most of the content is shared from a 2015 presentation “Lucking In” I gave at the Codemash conference, and I’ve shared the slides and audio from that talk.

For decades, Fiddler has been a huge part of not only my professional life, but my personal life as well, so this milestone is a bittersweet one. I could write pages, but I won’t. Maybe some day.

Happy birthday, Fiddler, and thank you to everyone who has joined me on the journey over the decades!
