nothing has hindered me more in my learning of html than this moralistic tone about semantic html.

just do what ever works. non of this matters. its just talking points by people that wanted to stay relevant.

as soon as I started to ignore these kinds of people i suddenly became able to just make things.

TFA is the author switching from “moral scolding” over semantic tags to demonstrating their utility and letting them stand on their own merits. Give it a read, I think you’ll find yourself agreeing with it more than not. And if you still want to write div soup after, just sprinkle some role attributes around where appropriate and you should be good to go.

thanks for the baseless assumptions about me with moralistic undertone

spent 5 more minutes on this yapper. no code examples btw. just one long effort post full of yapping.

I should write an article on the "UX of yapping" - at least include some images or code samples.

crazy to think that anybody who does not care about "semantic html" clowns only ever uses divs.

I probably write more "semantic html" just by accident. no i am not going to sprinkle useless attributes into my code. I am good to go already.

It wasn’t personal, sorry to have triggered you.
