2009 but css flex didn't become popular until 2014+.

  In 2009, one still needed to give IE6 serious thought (even if, depending on the use case, the conclusion could already be “nope”). At the time, I had someone telling me that we shouldn’t waste our time on supporting mobile. And flexbox was more a curiosity you studied with a hope of using someday than a serious option. And clearing your floats was part of the absolute basics. Of course, we still forgot to now and then.
