You know, a lot of us took a lot of flack for being sad about how "modern" websites have a really crappy "view source" experience, because that's how a lot of us learned to make websites back in the ole days. Or being sad that websites don't have cute customization options anymore (Myspace, etc).
But I'm pretty convinced that newer devs are not really learning HTML. They're not really getting that "this is an effective simple way to make something show up in your browser" learning experience.
