I don't mean it in a bad way, just trying to observe and learn.
This pop quiz is a brilliant way to make the reader agree with the author without the author having to persuade us what "should" be the correct answer, right?
I think it should be a part of a masterclass in getting people to agree with you. Reminds me of the inception movie... if you make someone believe they came up with an idea on their own, they are more likely to agree with it and follow through. I wish I knew how to do that.
Or am I overthinking the whole thing because I chose 200px and somehow need to justify me not understanding the css specification?
- pedrovhb 2y agoFor what it's worth, as a primarily backend dev having ~recently started getting more deeply into frontend web, I have specifically noted in my head that the box model isn't too intuitive and in my inexperienced opinion, the default was a bad one. I figured surely if it is the way it is, then it's for reasons I do not yet comprehend™, so it actually feels pretty validating that someone who knows what they're talking about agrees.
