• CSS Is, in Fact, Awesome

  This started improving for me recently when I spent more time really learning flexbox and flexgrid. They are part of CSS so no installs needed. It’s a different way of thinking but I’m finally good enough with flexbox that I can tell when I need it and make productive use of it.
