Now people are claiming that only tech people need to know HTML. We used to teach that to middle schoolers when I worked in a K12. It was part of "understanding computers".
But it isn't even about computers. It's a web language. Nothing else.
I took html in school as well and knew it wasn't at all related to what I would be doing.

At least they need to know that it exists and what it does for them.
Apparently being aware of markup tags is questioned as some kind of advanced tech wizardry now.

I definitely don't consider it tech wizardery.. but I'm not yet of the opinion that it's in IT's domain either.

No, it's basic literacy and everyone, even non-IT people, should know it.

I really am starting to feel that the conversations are going insanely downhill. It's not that there weren't always crazy questions, but the frequency and the ratio seem to be edging towards the insane.

I'll have to wait until someone responds. It was totally out of context in a thread that wasn't talking about performance at all, but just talking about how to partition and format a drive.

You're younger than me (though only a year or two) - your school taught it, mine did not.

I learned HTML and BASIC in middle school.

When I taught middle school we taught it. And we learned BASIC in elementary.

HTML didn't exist when I was in school. It was taught when I was a teacher.

Yeah somewhere around there.

Of course, point out that people are wasting money and to attempt to shut you down, they say that not everyone can have unlimited budgets. Um... I was talking about how they were wasting money. Then they call me condescending for having been attacked.

The degree of unprofessional and unkind is just insane. Why does that community engender such malice and hatred of IT and people? I just don't get it.
I know, I know, stop posting to those people.
