Ask HN: Do you still look at HTML source in 2025?
Hello, our company website is written by hand without JS/CSS/inline-styles, using tables and old transparent pixel hacks, etc.
From time to time, other engineers ask why it's written this way, and I explain that it's because I still read HTML source code when I see unusual website and hope that one day someone will take a look at ours.
Do you still read HTML source in 2025?
- compressedgas 2y agoThe HTML source is frequently more readable than the page when loaded in a browser.
- vouaobrasil 2y agoYeah. I've seen a few websites these days disable selection of text. So I use the source inspector to copy the text for quoting.
