In the 1990s I used to write the HTML for my web site by hand.

I still do, because I've yet to find a WYSIWYG editor that doesn't produce bloated code.

I don't know any professional web developer who uses a WYSIWIG editor. Writing proper HTML and CSS is the norm.

Dissapointing, im remembering imagining all the possibilities circa 2005 of a future WYSIWYG program that delivers on designing diverse types of amazing websites intuitively along with simple organized code in its source.

Ywah but for deployment ive started using bloated deployers. Nuxt vue etc

perhaps even a friendster profile? Was that a thing in the US? Or is it only myspace?

same here. Notepad was my friend then for html and java, and Sublime Text is my friend now for html and python.

that's how everybody does

Tailwind CSS 🙌

LLMs do a pretty good job producing minimal HTML and CSS code when properly prompted.
