Wrote PHP as personal-homepage CGI scripts (1995) — accidentally bootstrapping the language that ran most of the web.

Created PHP

Created PHP (1995) — 'Personal Home Page Tools' — as a set of CGI scripts that grew into the web's most-deployed language.\n\nHe's always been honest: 'I don't know how to build a language; I just kept adding the next logical step.'
