This tweet, posted almost a month ago, stuck in my brain. It begs a question of where that HTML came from? CMS? JS Frameworks? Is it down to awful structure? HTML was never that semantic and promises of better never evolved. Living standard, no adaptation? HTML is anti-semantic!

And also, I SO SO strongly agree with your comment: "USED PROPERLY" which is to me a hurdle for the entire open web stack as no core curriculum for fundamentals.

I think a lot of this stems from HTML’s “simplicity.” Too many devs view understanding its basic structure (let alone nuances) as not powerful enough to be worthy of their time to learn it (i.e., beneath them). It’s been that way for pretty much as long as I can remember.
