Nobody Likes Rude Code

It may seem ridiculous or silly, but there's such a thing as being a respectful dev that writes clean, proper code.

What does this look like? Well, a site with well-written markup will have:

Logical or Liner Ordering
Properly Nested Tags
Indented Elements

There are many other unspoken rules you can Google, but those three are my major pet peeves when done poorly - and I'm likely to call you out on them.
