- djbusby 3y agoSoon as I saw the title I thought their "why" was: so it looks good when I view source.
- cantSpellSober 3y ago"why" in the repo, not the HN title
- jkestner 3y agoI'd say, it's to optimize for source readability. That's something many of us relied on to learn HTML, and we need to keep that path open.
