Am I living on a different planet to every other developer?

Is code even meant to be read by a human any longer I'm regularly asking myself given the seemingly intoxicating examples of websites being produced these days by automated CMS systems, which just pump out complete junk, in my opinion. Look at the source code:

Does any other developer have a view? I'm really interested in this one in particular as it includes 'scoped' css in the html, which isn't created by the shadow-dom as in the case of react and vue, I believe, the css has just been dumped right into the middle of html code, is that even allowed, I thought that was poor practice. I could create my own web-components which bought along the css, without having to resort to a framework and since web-components seem to have slide off the cliff, without using a framework, there currently is no way to keep the css with the html.

hummmm.

youps... sorry for being later on that one...

what surprise me the most in this page sample... is the fact that (I have to first tell you that I use multiple screens , and that all of them use very hight width pixels size.) the width of the article size doesn't go higher than 600 px width.... in France we say... "not even afraid"

Isn't the max-width set on purpose so you get to see the background advertisment, either side of the article on larger screen sizes???

My heads still spinning, trying to work out if this is 'super state of the art' or just plain 'hacky and hope anything goes approach' lol............I do know that the css style blocks, according to good practice, should not be used within the html mark-up and why the developer is adding scope to the style tags I'm not sure, maybe they think because its ok in a framework like Vue it works outside of a framework.

Thats what l thought and when tested yesterday didnt work. Well the css did but the scoping to a particular element didnt.

Its completely crazy that code so poorly produced could even work in a browser or that anyone calling themselves a developer could provide such underwhemling solutions. Unfortunately that seems to be quite normal these days and partly to blame is this growing culture of younger developers who are clueless or maybe older developers who have just given up, if you cant beat them join them attitude. Whichever lve personally never seen the industry in the poor and unskilled state that it is today
