I remember before CSS was released it was supposed to be such a panacea. And then everyone said that CSS 3 was going to fix everything.

And now we are here saying the human created system isn't the problem it is the humans that are the problem.

Semiconductors are the aliens. They are ruling us now.

How do you remember those days and not think things are way better now? CSS can still have weird behavior, but it's nothing compared to doing everything through one off html attributes and trying to position things with float hacks and dealing with browser specific bugs. Despite its problems, as someone who has made websites through every Internet era, things have gotten better and better.

with CSS grid, and now subgrid (finally, chrome), layout with CSS has never been more pleasant
