I mean, I'm a fairly senior dev, and have literally never completed, or indeed really heard of, a html course. Is that, eh, part of your average CS degree these days?

25 years doing distributed systems and best i can offer anyone is

<marquee><h1><blink> welcome to cyberpunk’s j33t website!!!

    It's like nuclear disarmament treaties, but for annoying things.

      Better stick to apis then I guess.
