This topic interests me as well, and I've written about many of these ideas in the past. They're not necessarily analogous to the GoF design patterns, but I think they're similar in spirit. I hope you find them helpful. CSS A

Post author here. I agree 100% that HTML and CSS are not programming languages. However, any application that you build on the front-end is going to require your JavaScript code to interact with the HTML and CSS, so a solid understanding of

CSS Grid Layout is definitely not a dead end, it just didn't have enough support to showcase (yet). As for the difference, Flexbox is for one-dimensional layout and Grids are for two-dimensional layout. Grids will eventually be able to

I disagree. In classes that are supposed to be global helpers/modifiers, it makes absolute sense to use `!important`. For example, if I have the utility class `.u-hidden`, that selector has very low specificity. But if want to be damn
