The MySpace bug that taught a generation web design

Tyler digs into the one MySpace bug that accidentally taught a whole generation how to code: that infamous About Me box that let you paste raw HTML and CSS to completely override your profile. He walks through how millions of teenagers turned copy-pasted glitter code and stolen snippets into a real (if chaotic) education in web design, and how that kind of hands-on customization quietly disappeared as platforms shifted toward clean, algorithm-friendly templates. It’s part nostalgia trip, part case study in how convenience and control replaced ownership, and it ties right back into the bigger question of who actually gets to shape the platforms we use every day.
