Lousy web design trends that are making a comeback due to HTML5

I like to think they are trying to preserve the spirit of being able to right click->view source and learn a thing or two. Geocities + view source did spark early interest for myself in coding.

Maybe sourcemaps will help with that in the future.

Source maps in JavaScript are a cool idea. More people should know about them [1][2].

Perhaps adding a commented link in a minified file to a full version? Wouldn't be hard to automate.

I've added that to a site I'm about to launch. Seems like a good compromise.

Geocities view-sourcing. Thanks for taking me back.
