Remember when selecting all elements with a class required 15 lines of browser-sniffing JavaScript?

jQuery turned that into $('.intro').hide(). One line. Worked everywhere. And there was a codepen you can bookmark too.

Wrote a piece on jQuery's 20th birthday, a part history lesson, part love letter to the library that made web dev feel magical.
