If you think flex centering is the equivalent of "requires a doctorate" I'm not surprised you weren't cut out for web dev

- dylan604 3y agoSo for those of us that consider this dead simple, can we just start adding CSS Ph.D on our CVs?
- chihuahua 3y agoNo, you also have to throw away 3-6 years of your life.
- dylan604 3y agoI don't know about that. I'm not a UI person, yet I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on CSS. I actually like it. So when I'm sick and tired of programming things, I've found myself recreating the layout of some site I liked by writing the CSS/HTML by hand. You learn pretty quick that way. It's a shame that all UI is now only allowed to be done with some library or other.
- chihuahua 3y agoI was referring to the observation that getting a Ph.D. usually requires wasting 3-6 years of your life doing something tedious and useless (source: my time getting a Ph.D. in computer science)
- deathanatos 3y agoThose years were called "IE 6"
- dylan604 3y agowas it only 6 years? felt like 20. surely it didn't qualify for early release for good behavior
- deathanatos 3y agoMy comment was partly tongue in cheek. It did feel like 20 years, though. According to Wikipedia, it was initially released in 2001 … which … seems later than I remember? I don't remember upgrading to it, but I guess Win 98 came with IE 5? But +20 years would be 2021 so … I guess it wasn't quite. I was using Firefox by at least 2006, maybe 2007 at the latest.
- hirvi74 3y agoSuch venom. I am sure the GP was just trying to be comedic.
- Alifatisk 3y agoDamn, that’s a harsh response
- assimpleaspossi 3y agoAnd well deserved.
