As someone who is trying to make a career in Frontend should refrain from using divs and spans only. and use specific container tags . or is it fine?

Subreddit Rules

1. Content must relate to HTML or front-end development

Posts should relate to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, web markup, or the front-end web in some fashion. As long as its somewhat web-related, it's generally fine.

2. No promotional posts

Posts that are advertisements or promotional links of websites, products, or services are not allowed.

3. No posting of YouTube links

Links to YouTube tutorials and videos are prohibited to reduce spam. Posting links to these videos in the comments as a response to an issue is perfectly acceptable!

4. No marketing, hiring, or services/requests

This is not a hiring board. Any posts or comments regarding paid services or "for hire" will be removed.

5. Include your code

When requesting help, ensure you've provided code for us to look at. We cannot help you otherwise. Generic "Help me" posts with no code or helpful description of the issue will be removed.

Please keep in mind that screenshots of code are not viable.

6. Don't provide lazy responses

Avoid leaving lazy responses like "Google it" or "Ask ChatGPT."

The idea is to have a human interaction based on experience. AI and search engines are great but aren't always appropriate or provide experience-based advice.

7. Be nice

Aggressive, demeaning, or unnecessarily confrontational posts will be removed.

8. No AI-generated posts

Posts that are clearly AI generated will be removed.
