you curse your foolishness for seeking the footer on a modern website, when you're certainly old enough (or perhaps young enough!) to have learned that websites no longer care to provide organized and useful information to their users, nor do they care for their users at all.

We need to identify exploitation. While there are some gleeful Full Stack Developers, many are computer scientists given too many responsibilities, and over things for which they are not willing or qualified to be held accountable.We need to address the undervaluing of HTML and CSS for what it is: gender bias. Even though we wouldn’t have computer science without pioneering women, interloping men have claimed it for themselves. Anything less than ‘real programming’ is now considered trivial, silly, artsy, female. That attitude needs to eat a poisoned ass.We need to revisit the separation of concerns principle. We simply can’t afford for people to have to know everything just to do something. It’s good that we conceptualize designs in terms of self-contained components now, but that can be a mental model without being a technology-specific land-grab.Most of all, we need to educate people who don’t code at all just how many different things different types of code can do, and how different each is to understand and write. Hopefully, this way, more of us will be writing the kind of code that suits us best, and not spending our time anxious and demoralized because we don’t know what we’re doing, or we simply have too much on our plate. That’s not to say that if you do take to JS, CSS, HTML, SQL, and C# you shouldn’t be writing all of them if you‘d like to and you have enough time!

People have a long history of taking elements/components that were intended for specific use cases, and then stressing them to their limit to fit their use case.

Here's an overview of the landmark elements in HTML, their ARIA role and what they mean:aside (role: complementary) can be used to show content that is complementary to the main subject of the page. For example, links to related documents or meta info related to the main subject.footer (role: contentinfo) is where you put all the information about a page. Typically that's things like copyright info, related links, the authorform (role: form) can be a landmark element if it has a accessible name (set with aria-label, aria-labelledby or title attributes)header (role: banner) is where your page's "introduction" goes. Things like your logo, search and main navigation all go in here.main (role: main) contains the main content or functionality of your page.nav (role: navigation) is where you provide navigational links. They can be for your entire website (think your main menu), but also for your current page (think table of contents).section (role: region) This is a "generic standalone section of a page". Essentially, if you have a part of the page that stands alone, try to go down this list and if none of them fit but it's still a separate part of the page, use a section. Like forms, it'll only be a landmark if it also has an accessible name.There is still one more landmark that we need to discuss: the search landmark. All the landmarks above are HTML elements with a specific landmark role, but the search landmark role has no associated HTML element. It only exists in ARIA. As you might guess, the search landmark is used to indicate search functionality and practically, you'd add a search role to a form element to change it from a generic form to a search form.
