Why Writing CSS is Still a Craft

The CSS work I'm happiest with tends to involve fewer fixed assumptions. A card can grow when its heading wraps. A page still makes sense between the widths in the mock-ups.

Getting there means trying awkward content and resizing the browser a lot. It also means deleting rules once I understand why they aren't needed. That part can be slow, and it doesn't look impressive in a diff. I still find it satisfying.
