Wait. Hold the phone. No View Source?

At the risk of hyperbole, I believe that "View source" is the single
technology that enabled the popular web. How else did everyone learn
broke-ass HTML but from reading others' code? (You know it wasn't
FrontPage.)

In fact, I was nearly giddy 2 days ago when I "view(ed) source" on the
interactive google logo and saw actual javascript code laid out right
in front of me!

I'll flip a car if View Source goes away.
