If you have glasses or contacts, just say that your vision can only be corrected to less than perfect and that you can’t be expected to get perfect any quarter or half pixels. That’s what I do. Because I literally cannot see that level of detail. Also, that level of detail means squat when people don’t even wait 2 full seconds for a page to load before abandoning or scrolling or clicking to another page. I honestly don’t understand such anal people.

@HelsinkiCodes Oh dear, yeah developing from just a PDF or image file is pretty difficult.
Our internal designer person uses Adobe XD, which is really useful, but still lacks some features.
The quarter pxel was an exaggeration, but half pixels have been a discussion due to relative sizes/positions leading to small rendering blurryness or slightly off center elements. 🙈
For me the worst job would be to develop front-end stuff as the sole dev in a design company.
Imagine having to go to great lengths just to have everything done perfectly down to half pixels.
I've had to develop a couple of projects for an external design company and their lead designer was an absolute cunt about quarter pixels. I'm glad they fired him and working with them had become somewhat sane again...
Some things in front-end are either impossible or near impossible to get perfectly and nobody will pay for those wasted days anyway.
Oh and by the way: Please get rid of IE. I fucking hate it almost as much as my ex's mom.
