>It's true that today there are
some jobs that can be done only by mucking with raw HTML, and if you want to do those, you have to code them by hand. But as HTML evolves, so do HTML editors. And one day Real Soon Now, there will be absolutely no need to write HTML code by hand. After all, do you hand-code PostScript to get

- pmontra 4y agoTo be fair, except developers that have to write HTML generating web apps most people rent some CMS or use one for free (WP or static ones) and don't have to know HTML, even people that were paid to write HTML in the 90s. And about Postscript, we generate PDF for that now.
