The tricky part is to understand the underlying box model and what a relative size refers to. Depending on the property, it may be relative to the size of the object itself, or to the parent object. Some shit only even works if the parent object has a defined size. And then there's a difference between inline and block elements.

Or you could just learn the theory behind the madness.

we can defend cas all we want or recognize that the fact that the "clearfix hack" is still a thing....a thing that is still referenced as a hack.
I know this shit properly enough to not require some bs like bulma or bootstrap....yet css is still and will continue to be bullshit....i hate web development...

@AleCx04 being a we dev since 2015 I can tell you I've never needed floats. Just flex ox everything. Makes things a lot more understandable.
Ive never used the clearfix hack -
@AleCx04 What's even more hacky and also still in use is the "padding bottom hack" to have responsive images while avoiding layout jumping during page load.

@Codex404 man I wish, seen far too much bs from old browsers. If i could use flex and grid components on all my shit i would but some people insist on supporting old ass shit :(

@Fast-Nop man people fight me on that one stating that it is not a hack, but I know a hack when I see one!
