> on learning HTML

Anecdote. Was recently freelancing at a web-agency. They build complex web-apps. Lot's of senior and experienced web-devs there: react, mui, typescript, tailwind, and a large host of backend frameworks under the belt.

But when I built a quick PoC using `<template>` a few lines of JS and some of the elements used in the article (meter, dialog, details) they were flabbergasted. This was a whole team of experienced developers doing web-ui development for their job, 40+ hours a week. And they didn't know, not even realized, that HTML had them covered for loads of use-cases.

Edit: I am no frontend-dev, so I have to look up everything anyway. Which is probably why I come across those "new" things easier.
