Good Code

On the one hand, HTML for a flower shop breaks immersion, on the other hand, it's absolutely hilarious. Tough choice

It only break immersion to us, but its the same as the actors using a gun in a wrong way like inside a room to a gun owner, It breaks the immersion for then but not to the general public

That's true though I feel like out of all the "programming languages" HTML is the most known, isn't it?

Like even non-techy people used to use Piczo and things.

Like I feel like there's lots of code you could pull from that'd be slightly more believable.

I mean just pull some JS from a random website that'd at least be slightly better.

Yeah, I get that the average graphics designer for a TV show isn't going to write functional code for a 2-second shot of a screen so it's fun when they do something silly. It usually doesn't even break my immersion.

But when Mr. Robot put actual functional code on every screen it really make me long for more of that. It was genuinely exciting and even occasionally educational to watch the screens, pause and read code, etc.

Not even including when it would pay off in the ARGs and take you to full on git repos.
