@Codex404 My boss: "I don't understand why you chose to go down the flexbox route"
Me: I believe Grid and flexbox are a nice way to create a layout especially when we're developing for both mobile and desktop users.
Boss: Well I don't like it and it needs to change. Create containers with absolute positions.
Me: *Swan dives off bridge* -
C0D4681385yOk, I'm not a flex box fan. But that's purely from a backwards compatibility stance... probably should look at using it now though.
But absolute positioning of containers? Wtf! -
@C0D4 I'm not sure how long you want to go back but every major browser has had flexbox support for over two years.
Hell even IE supports a working draft of CSS Grid let alone flexbox. -
C0D4681385y@Codex404 up till last year I was still dealing with IE, now thats behind me, backwards issues are less of a problem.
I've managed to do without for the past decade so it doesn't actually solve anything for me, beyond writing less css.
But hey, less css means more time for better things. -

well someone's wrong here, and this thing is generally right.
