Penny Arcade, a web comic about games just reached their 20th anniversary. They’ve been posting a new webcomic every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for twenty years. Since then they’ve started a few other projects, but the core site and comic haven’t changed much all over the years.
There’s something magical about seeing such long standing sites on the web that almost defiantly refuse to change. They’re not pivoting. They’re sticking to the plan for the long haul. It’s a delightfully different take on growth and prosperity on the web. And because these sites focus remains unchanged, what we’re really watching is their path to mastery – day by day, year after year, chipping away at the work. It’s only after decades that we notice see how far they’ve come.
