When you start dealing with more than front end its considered best practice to put this resources inside the header, because they are easy to find.

Lots of the stuff like css in an html file using the replaces the need for a .css file correlating to said homepage, After it builds up there it gets hard to read so its better to make a separate file. All of that code is in one place only, where nothing but a works.

It is great for testing, but later down the road when you sell your application and the owners need to make adjustments it will make it impossible for them to find the files they are looking for to update, remove, edit and etc.

It's not a stupid question either!

I'm in a bootcamp right now for web development, my teachers are working on an app and its probably 100k characters long without a doubt, it is probably a million!

For convenience they use stuff such as this in html

So, when their teammate goes into it they can find what they need and change it without wasting an hour finding the thing and taking a break when they finally do!
