Honestly? Because it’s hilariously satisfying. You just reverse-engineered one of the most visited pages on earth in under 20 minutes. And now you can customize it—add a cat meme as the background, change the button text to “Release the Kraken,” or make the search bar pink. Google doesn’t let you do that, do they?
So go ahead. Tweak it. Break it. Fix it. That’s how you learn. And if someone asks, “Did you really build Google?” just smile and say, “The homepage, yeah. The search algorithm? Not yet. Give me a week.”
