## What Jamie wrote

I am definitely in this same generation. In the early days of the web we all built so much by riffing off of everyone else, using "View Source…" to understand how they did whatever it was we were interested in. These days, many web sites have so much confusion in their source that it is nearly impossible to make any sense of it. Some of that may be needed, but I think a lot of it is not. This is a key part of keeping the web open.
