> write-only I think you mean read-only, no?

  No https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write-only_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write-only_language in this context it's about having the source code accessible itself, instead of only a binary/bytecode available (or some obfuscated/minified code)

    Good response, but as easy as it would be to pretend that this is what I intended all along, intellectual honesty dictates otherwise. Read-only is what I was thinking at the time I wrote it, but I flubbed the words during revision what with all the double negation happening in that sentence. In the world of inspectors on the modern Web, though, the concept of something being write-only is also strongly relevant.
