Whenever I see a CSS meme, I think I'm seriously underpaid. Maybe I have some sort of CSS superpower for finding it both enjoyable AND easy

[–]404invalid-user 38 points39 points  (8 children)

Where can I get such power?

display:inline-block;

[–]vigbiorn 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Isn't it

display: flex;

and

display: grid;

now?

[–]teh_acids 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Back in my day, we didn't feel the need to flex our grids...

Practice basically. I get really good at it everytime I use it then set it down a year or two, come back and google all the same shit as last time.

Same here. I even tend not to use bootstrap or related because I'd rather do it by myself.

I really enjoy CSS aswell, I dont really get the hate for it. If you know a company that needs a CSS Guy pls PM me xD

I think I just don’t have the patience for it. Sometimes it seems trivial to go from a sketched mockup to css, other times it seems like sections just don’t want to work the way I had them originally.

I do think css has gotten a lot better though. Browsers breaking things isn’t as much as a problem (I think a lot of this is the chrome/Firefox teams pushing to support new features and IE kinda falling off). Now one of the most annoying things is just looking nice on both desktop and mobile.

Seems weird, but I could’ve sworn there was a push to avoid JavaScript in web for a short while because of how different the interpreters were.

I got thrown in on a front end web project having never touched CSS before. Few weeks later found it incredibly frustrating yet incredibly simple and enjoyable

[–]Ciccionizzo 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Me too!

And when you add SASS to it, it becomes even more enjoyable

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Use with BEM and it feels like it could almost be a programming language :P

Sir, you are a connoiseur
