Not a bad looking website. I like it better than most of that responsive CSS/JS bloated nightmares out there. I wish more websites were faster loading like this one.

try searching with https://teclis.com/ ... Just type in some word like "cat" and click on the links. They are kinda all like that.

This is a fantastic website. Thanks for the link!

Very cute! I did something similar with my dad when I was a kid. First basic HTML then Dreamweaver. A couple years down the road and I’m working at a SaaS company. Beware.

I just had a visceral reaction to reading Dreamweaver... god those were not the days haha

> No need for / in HTML I personally prefer having the /> even though it's not necessary, so that I can tell at-a-glance whether a tag is self-closing or not. It doesn't hurt, does it? (plus I'm just used to it because the book I learned HTML from was confident that XHTML was the future)

I strongly believe that the harm we experienced from XHTML should not be passed down to future generations.

You didn't love the strict and unhelpful generic XML exception you got when you accidentally forgot to close a tag?

The web is a lot like music and movies. There's the mainstream pop stuff and then there's the other 99.99% which is easy to forget unless you are intentional about engaging it

Until you try creating one of those videos, and now you need .movs and .mp3s and .pngs and a place to store the render output. Files have a way to go yet.

Also , replying to myself, have you ever had a job? At a place? Where the primary function isn't coding? Files are everywhere . They are every-thing . Except now, thanks to the disaster that is SharePoint, nobody has a fucking idea where they are any more. Because they've been abstracted away by some genius on the Teams team. So nobody can find what they were just working on. Or they have no idea if the thing they fi…

I can't believe I'm seriously reading a discussion around the existence of files, what is this, an SNL sketch?

IMG tags are self-closing, so you can omit The dog picture has wrong aspect ratio. The dog is squeezed! It should be 620 × 349 or, if 500 width or 400 height is needed, there's a good mathematical task to calculate the size of the other side. No need for / in HTML. unicorn.html unicorncopy.html Pa…

Oh hey, I learnt a new thing today!

It always felt apt to offer a few words of praise for the things that are good, or to establish common ground in code review before offering constructive critique.

Wouldn’t call it a must, but makes putting one’s own ego aside when receiving critique that much easier and lets me focus on improvement, I try to do that for others as well now!
