In '98 I uploaded an index.html for a subsection of the corporate site to the root, squashing the corporate home page in the process. We didn't have any source control or backups. I had a colleague who had the page open, and I was able to copy the code from his browser. Learned a lot that day!

ha, I can almost see the situation as if I'd happened in my old office. Now imagine doing that with a Typescript SPA bundled using web pack :)
I'm not criticising SPAs or the modern web stack in whatever flavour you choose (there are pros and cons to abstractions), but I still do miss the ability to just browse the page code, the web being more open in that regard.
Works fine on my own machine (13, Linux). But that doesn't help people who are stuck on machines where it doesn't. I suppose the code could detect low frame rates and reduce quality or shut down?
