Thats a complete reductive idea of MDs. MD was long spawn before LLMs as a need for light weight formatting and easy conversion to different formats. No one used at that scale doesnt mean the absence of the utility for it, as the primary adopters were tech community and that was a layer below the consumer market. Utility obviously stands, the question is, can HTML supersede on that utility side of it in all developer work components.

I said “not used at the scale of html” not “no utility”

So you write a HTML Readme? Markdown is what I write 99% of the time. Unless I am in a rich editor and HTML behind the scenes.

HTML is a communication layer. Hardly anyone is writing it directly. Using React etc. or whatever or even LLM.

No but I should.

My point is: what’s the total number of html files in existence? Billions. What’s the total number of markdown readme files.

lmao

I saw you sitting at -1 karma so I gave you an upvote.
