Frontend

i don't think new programmers will ever fundamentally understand front end programming ever again. the AI is too strong. if something looks off, the zoomers are just gonna reprompt instead of trying to understand the underlying logic

back in my day..

In the age of LLM slop, deeply understanding CSS fundamentals is a moat.

Flexbox is a little overrated tbh. Would like to see more CSS Grid in the wild.

It really was!

But now with CSS Grid you can forgo several layers of HTML nesting whenever you need a row inside a column or vice versa.

Flexbox was an absolute godsend when it first came out. Made so many hacks obsolete. That said, people def use it in cases where grid would be better

I like just being able to declare `grid-template` once on the parent instead of having nested wrapper elements and prescribing `flex-grow`/ `flex-shrink` for individual children

I think flexbox will always win because of mobile responsiveness 

you can do it with grid, but flexbox is easier
