Look Ma, I'm Comfortable w/ HTML Code

At least once a week I click over to Gizmodo to read the latest in tech news. Honestly, most days I understand perhaps half of what gets posted on that site but I read through because I figure I'll pick up on some things.

Yesterday they had an article on the site that would generally fly high over my head. Apparently, Gizmodo mistakenly displayed website Reddits HTML code when they were reporting that the Pentagon's underwater drones were being cyber attacked.

Usually, this bit of news and the joke that follows would be like reading Hebrew but as I was staring at the HyperText Manuscript Code for Reddit's website I started to ask myself: "That's an open and closed div. Why isn't there anything in the middle of that?"

It was a simple thought about a simple article but it got me thinking about their code and it made me realize that I am starting to warm up to it... a little, at least.
