With flexbox and grid there is no excuse for not knowing how to do that at this point.
There wasn’t an excuse in the first place. It’s kinda amazing anyone can say centering a div was ever hard, especially if you have a computer science degree.
I mean sure it’s different from say object-oriented programming… but it’s frankly weird in a professional setting hearing grown adults with plenty of experience struggle over basic front-end work.
honestly a lot of the people trying to pass as big pros on the internet are beginners. however its the most common issue with css, so its solution is dead easy to fucking find.
with that said, if i havent been using css in a while ill probably have to look it up.
Computer science doesn't have much to do with making websites but ok
Not web sites but certainly web applications.
What's the use case for such a big monitor anyway?
Being able to fit a java class name in 1 line
Eh, I'm sure we can overrun it just by gluing sufficient instances of Factory to the end of the classname.
And OOP in general. I also used to be infamous for such things, then I started to shorten the names, including using letters that are obvious to the user (e.g. int w, h; for width and height).
Demonstrating the power of tiling window managers.

Looks like Untitled Goose Game.
Yeah he played some games on it to show the different scaling implications.
Is Linus still doing the thing with the videos? Huh.
Lol was pretty much my first thought.
Frontend devs stopped giving a shit about wide screens at like 24"
It's just massive blank spaces seperating the work area and sides
My team cares, mostly because I make them care.
This is not even an edge case, this is jump down from the edge to find what lies in the dark pit of despairs case
And bootstrap's biggest Screen size Starts at 1400 width... 4k be damned
I don't want to use Bootstrap in my future project because Twitter. What are y'all using now?
Tailwind is my go-to these days
Logical pixels != physical pixels
Another obligatory 'Fuck Linus'

Step 1: Write a website in pure HTML, can be converted or builded from something like Markdown
Step 2: Style it a little with CSS, as a layer on top, without touching HTML
Step 3: Profit.
