I worked at a company that made IoT stuff (which is an increasingly archaic term). The web team was pitching using a third party tool called ThingSpace to view and manage the things. The web dev said ThingSpace could do all these amazing things automatically. The manager said “can we change the color of the background?” The web dev said “…. no.”

I didn’t say they were very good web devs.

It doesn't really matter how good of a web dev you are, you really shouldn't be changing any part of someone else's website... They tend to do things like call the police on you for "hacking" and other such frivolities /s
