You can really tell when web developers don't actually use the website they're building (especially contractors). Same for applications and for overly complex software where developers only use few features themselves (hence web browser bugs).

Only very talented or disciplined people manage to write flawless code without stumbling over their own bugs first. A good, opinionated, statically typed language helps, IMHO (scripting languages are one of the reasons for crappy web pages).
