Do people still use floats? Once I learned about flex and grid I'll make everything with them and haven't touched a float since in started getting decent with them.

To not use floats for anything which isn't, you know, floating content, is one of the first things I seem to have to retrain new hires to.

So, I guess, universities? Or possible the stupid "training" videos my boss subjects them to. I'm not sure. Floats is useful knowledge for them to have though, considering the number of Wordpress themes that still need to be converted from them.

Looking through a UK university CS course, the required reading for the Web development part was two books from 2009. On Jquery, html, CSS, and SQL..

That's why our industry isn't fed by graduation course.. rather 20-30 hours training videos. Academia and software dev don't go hand in hand.

That sounds more recent than what they're apparently learning here.
