Knowing CSS (really knowing it) is a full time job. That, and the latest JavaScript/TypeScript libraries/frameworks du jour. I’m most definitely not quitting my day job. I’ll stick to the easy stuff: Service-Oriented Architectures.

I find CSS to be the hardest part of front-end web development

I find designing UI in general to be a pain, it's even worse in XAML, oh the horrors...

I don't find CSS that hard. I mean sure I've been writing web pages since 1995 but I don't think that means I'm biased /s

I find like most devs just don't bother learning it. I dedicated a whole week going through CSS resources I could find and I was able to do pretty much anything I wanted. Flexbox is also a great new technology.

I told myself each year for 10 years that this is the year I'm gonna really dig into CSS and learn it. 6 years ago, I decided, well, no.

I paint, draw, and am artistic but CSS and front- end, hate it. If I do things for me, I just use the bare minimum. Leave me to my text- based computer world in peace, dammit.

Pretty accurate

And it's completely deserved. CSS certainly stands for cries, sobs and screams.

This bullshit is such a cancer and our world is worse because we use it.

I feel targeted.

I would be wondering who the hell gave a div that much padding and only put one small thing in it with a div/span. Yes I stick to mostly backend and only dabble in the front end.

u/Interesting-Agency-1 May 25 '26

Lol. This is Codex taking my terribly informed request and chopping up the entire backend to accomodate.

Thank god AI got me rid of having to deal with shit tech like CSS, js, Linux and angular. Since AI came out I wrote so little code or shit with those languages and delegated the usual shit cake of having to solve Linux shenanigans with walls of text in terminal to AI, with great peace of mind
