  Browser dev tools are incredible, but they just hit different than view source. The web of the 90s and early 2000s was just so accessible as a kid curious about how it all worked. You could cobble together a personal website on Geocities and learn by copy and pasting code you found on someone else's website that did something cool. It just promoted this really beautiful experimentation and cross pollination of ideas that is mostly lost now.

  These add things that are missing (<html>, missing closing tags etc). Great for debugging but not the actual source.
