I learnt HTML and JS by viewing the source code of major sites like Yahoo (this was in the early 2000s so CSS wasn’t extremely widespread yet). That’s practically impossible these days due to how much bulkier sites have gotten. Back then, HTML and JS were simple, unminified, and easy to understand.
Now you can’t even read a blog’s html to understand what it is doing, as it’s being hosted by a website builder doing 2 billion weird things most likely.
