What's your favorite HTML element?
I feel like the go to or the most important HTML element is probably the link tag. Because it combines everything. It's what HTML is based on.
But I'm gonna throw maybe a bit more of a curveball and say the paragraph tag, the humble, crappy paragraph tag that you put text on the page with because I think the most important part of a page, especially like your conventional kind of page that's not like an app is the writing. It's the text. And when I built marketing pages or just pages talking about my favorite stuff or whatever back in the day, starting with asking yourself if its compelling content is a good place to start. If the content is good, add styling on top of that, and you're in a really great place, but if your p tags suck, no amount of like HTML, JavaScript, or CSS trickery is gonna get around that. It's kind of like putting lipstick on a pig. The pigs got to have really great <p> tags.
