I want to rant about 14yo me approaching css, cause I feel a lot like lately I am ranting a lot (irl mostly) and forgot we all start humbly.

- Be 14 yo me and start learning css
- Spend two hours trying to make a css file work
- Get angry at the file (the 14yo me lost his cool a lot) and say css is stupid
- Realise 1 and l have the same representation in the current font
- get bright red
- change that letter
- all works
- hide the face in the pillow and feel stupid
- no, I meant really stupid

Btw 14yo me you were right, css IS stupid, mostly due to inconsistencies and IE

    If there’s ONE thing I despise writing it’s CSS! Even when I look up stack overflow for answers and copy paste them it still fucks up! It’s full of hidden rules and traps that drive me insane

    CSS always feels like a jumble of ideas pasted together over time.

    If design isn't your main priority, a css framework will save you some time.

    CSS is heaven and hell blended together.

    @Cyanide if you need to support IE11 it leads a bit more to hell, tho

    @piratefox It balances itself again with flexbox and grid.
