I had the same realization about myself some time ago: I suck at styling because I never bothered to try to learn css. I know enough by heart to solve most basic problems, but anytime I spend more than a couple of minutes on styling, I'm inevitably scrambling search engines (and these days asking llms). The analogy with learning programming languages is helpful to get the point across but pretty inaccurate. Most of us should treat css more seriously (I for one just want to get done with it as soon as possible), but it's not realistic to compare it to programming. It's like comparing building a sandcastle with building a house.
