Honestly, the thing that made me “grok” flexbox, and actually start thinking in it, was figma’s auto layout. As a dev from the 2000s, I had tables and floats seared into my mind. Any design problem layout problem boiled down to that, and I just used flexbox to make it easier. But figma … that thing made me actually _think_ in responsive layouts. Not sure how they’ve implemented it, but auto layout just feels like an “interface to flexbox”. After a couple of projects, in my mind now everything is just auto layouts, and thus I’m now defaulting to using flexbox everywhere. Only more exotic design issues now need something different.
