What I learned by re-learning HTML (opens in new tab)

In reading that it doesn't sound like the effort produced a profound improvement in the authors HTML abilities.

Enjoyed the read and I'm always happy to see people put the effort in to understand the Web better. One thing at the end, though: kinda sounds like the author got to a place where they conclude "welp, some stuff like select elements and tables are just too complicated to rely on HTML I guess"... And the thing is that's not 100% wrong, but it misses the larger and more important point of understanding the _role_ of the elements you are using. In essence HTML is just shorthand for a lot of other things you'd have to do (including marking up the correct role). It would have been more fulfilling if instead he reached some epiphany more like: "I realized even when the HTML element doesn't cover 100% of the use case, I realized it's a great place to start reading what other _role_s and aria-descriptions need to be added to that div to make it correct, robust and meaningful"

Cool! Did you have fun with Canvas too?
