I don’t know how to strike the right balance between the precision and intelligibility of low-level tooling (e.g. HTML) vs. the power of high-level tooling (e.g. a template language + CSS). How important is it these days to understand the web from the bottom up?

It’s not necessarily super complex, but most web sites are. I love making HTML/CSS pages that are as simple as possible in their structures and stylesheets. CSS Grid helps a lot.

The HTML generated by most tools and platform is gut-wrenchingly horrendous. Eldritch horrors, unspeakable geometries, etc.
