> IV. Do everything yourself This is not very brutalist, considering that brutalist architecture would never exist if it followed this rule. > VIII. Avoid all ornaments How about: "don't hide the way you made it"? Brutalist buildings often have the look of bare concrete and metal because they are not trying to hide the way they were built. This would mean disclosing sources and tools, making buttons look like buttons, showing the actual errors, shaping the UI to reflect the underlying process or model rather than trying to abstract it.

Now I wonder if there is a way to make a webpage look like very nicely laid out HTML.

    I meant a way to make the tags visible without being too intrusive and ugly.

      That's a cool idea; someone implemented that, also in the context of brutalism, here: https://startr.style/brutalism/ https://startr.style/brutalism/

  Well, other than "view source", you can set the CSS "before" and "after" properties of every tag to display the actual start and closing tags.
