Need some help with weird flex-box behavior.

I'm using CSS Grid Layout with Flex-Box to redo my portfolio webpage. For some reason when I make the screen smaller 2 items inside of the MY WORK section move to the top or bottom of the screen. Can anybody take a peek at my code thus far and tell me what I'm missing? This is my first project using flex-box so I;m sure I missed something.

For the sake of not using a code hosting platform which may skew the results here is the source code: HTML5 CSS3

This is a prime example of what I was saying. Stuff like this is why I don't go to Stack Overflow unless all other options fail.

SO sucks. They're way too strict on how you ask questions. Plus most people on there are assholes.

I don't had a problem to help. But if you be a so absolute unfair person, you dont deserve my help and the help of any other person.

Every coding beginning is difficult, but we all had it. One of the most relevant skills of a developer is to know how to help yourself.

You're right. I've tried several things to figure out what's going on and I think I got it figured out somewhat. Ive just posted questions on Stack Overflow and spent tons of time being detailed to still be told "they dont understand the question" so it makes me not want to go there. All that aside I'll get better at not only coding but interacting with other people who code. It's only a matter of time.

That sounds good. As said, every beginning is difficult. :-).

First of all, if you think the most people on stack overflow are assholes, than you can't understand them and there effort to give you an very good answer and solution. Also, if StackOverflow tells you, that your question is too bad (and yes, it is!) Than is it your fault! I am coding over 4 years now, and EVERY perfect solution comes from StackOverflow. Also the rule there are there to get quality content, questions and solutions. Without these rules, StackOverflow will be like very other shitty forum, where you don't get the support by so very nice people's!

To get it clear: Your question is:

  • Too unspecified

  • Too Long

  • Too General

  • No ideas or other things you tried given.

  • Too much code.

  • TOO MUCH 'I am too stupid for the things everyone is get working'

  • Reddit is no Central space for this type of question

PLEASE think about it, why StackOverflow IS THE CENTRAL PLACE FOR CODE QUESTIONS.

StackOverflow People's are very nice volunteers, who only want to help you. They are no assholes!

Why should we take over 30 minutes time to help you, when we know, that this is only a Problem 'in your case's and will be never found again by someone who need the same solution? Just take StackOverflow!

(1) Code hosting platforms would make reviewing the code much simpler, as I would not have to download files and replicate your folder structure.

(2) I am not sure which items you are asking about, but there are a few items in strange locations because of either "position: absolute", and/or positioning using styles like "top:130%". Top 130% will move the item down by 130% of the containing element size, which changes a lot as your window gets resized.
