Reflections on Self Reflection
A quine is a program that produces a copy of its own source code as its output. Also known as a self-replicating program.
This page is an HTML quine. Copying its rendered text into a new HTML file reconstructs the same page byte-for-byte. [CTRL A] -> [CTRL C]
I've never blogged before, and wanted to start. I wanted no framework, no build system, and no separation between the page and its source. Taking "everything on a page" to its logical conclusion.
