My nephew asked me why we even need HTML anymore
He's 12 and learning on some new visual builder platform, and it made me realize how much the starting point has shifted since I opened Notepad in 2005. Anyone else feel like the 'first step' into code is totally different now?

Reminds me of how we don't see the wires behind the walls anymore... everything just works. Kids start with the polished result, not the messy bits that make it run. They tap a screen and something happens, so the idea of typing raw code seems weird and pointless. It's like asking why you need to know how an engine works when you can just push the gas pedal. The first step isn't a blank page now, it's a menu of pre-built choices.

My nephew thinks wifi is just a button on the remote.
