People use legacy solutions because they work.
If tutorials started with while you are developing set your browser to developer mode which only allow HTML5 tags to be used.
Web developers copy code, that is one of the reasons the web is so great.
But if they copy code and it works they will move on without realizing that they are using deprecated tags.
- _getify 12y agoYes, "how we get into this mess" is incredibly complicated and yet far too much a "pit of failure" for developers. But that doesn't mean we have to just accept it'll never change. I take a sense of pride and ownership in the web, and I have big hopes for its future. That means I have to want to try to make it better, not just keep it afloat. I just hope I can inspire others to do the same.
