    When I first began learning HTML (way before CSS and the modern web), my most engaged moments were when things broke. Way more satisfying learning how to fix them than having it work right away. What a great observation / comment.

      As a professional dev my reaction to broken things is more like “ah fuck, not again! I hope it’s nothing serious.”.

      Dave Jones of the EEVblog always says to beginners “I hope your project doesn’t work.” He thinks it’s a much better learning opportunity that way.
