Why do people find this interesting? It looks like perfectly normal usage of CSS.

  But did you actually read the blog post about "BS blogs"? Because it's not actually about blogs being BS and how one cares. It's about how you should care about what you are writing and tell everyone else to f-off. > This post likely was written by a newbie who is trying to enter programming world and by writing a blog about CSS paddings thus keeping his ego inflated What a weird statement to make. Like mindboggling weird. There's nothing wrong with newbies documenting things and writing up details on how things work. Because other newbies need it. And besides, haven't we all here figured out by now that the best way to learn something is teach others? I'm seriously at a loss for why you are arrogantly bashing and trying to shame for someone putting effort into understanding more about the world around them and trying to help others at their level understand. Your time is better off spending time understanding that the world doesn't revolve around you.

  What an ignorant statement. This blog wasn't written _by_ a newbie, but _for_ newbies, to help them in breaking down a real world example of otherwise abstract CSS features. That blog is as far as I'm concerned the best blog about CSS and its new features that exists today.

CSS is a big part of the web and lots of people use it every day. I find this post interesting because it inspects a world-class app used by millions of people, and it showcases some of CSS’s latest capabilities, plus it has nice graphics illustrating the findings!

It's interesting to see how a big company with a lot of talented engineers would build a brand-new web app, since there's so many ways to achieve similar results.

It's very good educational content for people who don't really know all the intricacies of modern CSS (e.g. myself). Copying something Meta did and playing with it just feels more interesting than an abstract example out of thin air.
