Modern HTML is a disaster.
It’s bloated, semantically meaningless, and hostile to browsers, bots, and users.
We’ve traded structure for utility, and performance is paying the price.
Semantic HTML still matters - and here’s why.

Why Semantic HTML Still Matters
If you want to build for performance, accessibility, discoverability, or resilience, you must start with HTML that means something.

Why are you shipping 3MB of JavaScript to animate a link?
Modern CSS now handles seamless page transitions - natively.
No routing hacks. No hydration tax. No excuse.

It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA
Native CSS transitions have quietly killed the strongest argument for client-side routing. Yet people keep building terrible apps instead of performant websites.

A tool that makes it easier to pump out shit code and experiences that trample all over WCAG guidelines, and publish directly to the Web, means that fewer designers will be taking the time to do it properly. The path of least resistance now lies through making a website that sucks.

Some might say I'm being too harsh on Figma but I actually think I'm not being harsh *enough.*
For better or worse, Figma is the industry-default design tool. When they select their priorities, it communicates to designers *what they should consider important* both as a role model and as a tool.

We're time traveling back to 1997 today, when WISYWIG editors were all the rage. In the decades since, web technology has clawed its way from that primitive state with semantic HTML that made accessibility possible and let content drive appearance rather than vice-versa.
Then Figma blew it all up.

This feature that I've always wanted, and still want too, out of browser web tools is "why is this element this size?"
Is it intrinsically sized? If so, what content is affecting it? Is it directly sized? Which selectors/properties? Is the context sizing it? Tell me more!
