A funny find, but why were you looking at their source?
- paulojreis 11y agoNot the OP, but I do this more frequently than I should - probably just to think 'ah, noobs, they didn't minify their JS'. :)
- Gmo 11y agoThe OP might have done like me : copy/paste the link in Slack and that's the preview text that is appearing
- TeMPOraL 11y agoWhy not? For some of us it's a decades-old habit, from back when the Web was more friendly.
- accommodavid 11y agoI just looked at the source code and, well, wow. Comments sometimes in English and sometimes in Chinese, scripts are being loaded all over the place, one tag is just commented out, one inline script does nothing but assign a global variable to a value that's presumably just an output from PHP and many more things that feel really... odd for something that's supposed to advertise a new and complex technology.
- vinceguidry 11y agoI wouldn't be so surprised. They're a robotics company, not a web design company. They probably contracted it out.
- pbhjpbhj 11y agoSurely it's far worse if they contracted it out as then this is the results of people who they bought in on the basis of their web design. If it was in house then there's an excuse of sorts.
- vinceguidry 11y agoNah. If you're not a web design company, than you're not going to know what to look for when trying to contract a web design company. I'd expect shit-show engineering to be the norm rather than the exception.
- fratlas 11y agoI do it sometimes, just wondering if there was any particular reason that people do it.
- arethuza 11y agoCuriosity mostly - usually if a page is particularly nice or particularly bad. I also tend to check HN when people make comments about the horrors of table based layouts...

- ideamonk 11y agoI'm a frontend+design guy, I tend to do it time to time.
