Great article, but one nit: order of transforms matters, yes, but you’re supposed to read them right to left (like matrix multiplication). When you have `transform: translateX(…) rotate(…);`, you’re saying “first rotate it about the origin, then translate it”. When you have `transform: rotate(…) translateX(…);`, you’re saying “first translate it, then rotate it about the origin”! — not the translated object’s origin! That’s why in the the second example the transformed object swings around the origin from a distance when you change the rotation angle. I mean, sure, you can mentally do it left to right and track how the axes change, as the author did, but right to left is a lot simpler, and is what’s actually happening to the vectors behind the scenes.
