Modern browsers are going to raise a bunch of idiots who aren't even curious about how the page actually works
Historically, 99.9 of the web users didn't cared about "how the page actually works" either.
- batista 15y agoBtw, are you "even curious" about how your car actually works? Your TV? Your grandfather's artificial valve? X-rays? How milk turns into yoghurt? How epidemiologists study disease? Who was the kind of Sparta at the time of the roman invasion? How the books you read are typeset? If you answered no to ANY of those, do you consider yourself an idiot? If no, why should users be "curious" how the HTML page actually works? Because everybody has to have YOUR expertise in the field YOU'VE chosen?
- ck2 15y agoYes I use my car weekly and learned how to do basic repairs. I also learned how a TV works decades ago when reading about Philo Farnsworth. The other items I don't use so I tend to not know how they work. I didn't start out to learn how to be a web developer, I just got curious how the web pages I used every day worked. Even yogurt has a list of ingredients on the side but "view source" is essentially gone from modern browsers.
