HTML Best Practice
summary
Argues HTML matters by showing concrete contrasts: an Angular Material slider expands to 8–14 elements vs 2 (label+input) and bloats markup, while the spec lists 111 elements with ~20 deprecated yet most sites use less than 42, hurting semantics and accessibility. Recommends native features: position: sticky is widely supported (vs a component with ~100,000 downloads/week), dialog exists and is already in browsers though dialog used on <1% of sites, so prefer valid, semantic, minimal markup.
