How To Get Better At CSS (For Developers)

The key reason why you (and likely most developers) struggle with CSS, is that you underestimate it.

Underestimating CSS leads to a strange feeling of tediousness when writing it, that makes having to deal with it a laborious and seemingly unrewarding task.

Style by style, div by div, media query by media query. Having to make endless small tweaks in what feels like an open-ended ‘design’ process with no direction at all can feel like torture to a development-oriented mind.

Not to mention a complete lack of debugging tools and methods, available for when things go wrong.

This underestimation of CSS is a subset of a problem that we developers tend to have with design in general.

In short, we don’t think it’s that important. We don’t understand or appreciate its meaning
