State of trying to update website building skills for the first time since 2009
1. Trying to do simple table-like layouts using divs/css is a Mars mission. I give up.
2. Did a hello-world in Gatsby. Going beyond basics is like going to Moon. I give up.
3. Gutenberg is gut.

Did you know there was a secret conspiracy in the tech world making it nearly impossible to do anything that looks vaguely like it wants to be 2d without spending 6 months or thousands of dollars? Only 1-d website building for us proles.

Are you familiar with CSS Grids? Like, it changes everything.
Just watch some stuff in youtube. youtube.com/channel/UC7Tiz

Vanilla CSS is hella fun to tinker with, but if it isn't something you use on a regular basis, I would highly recommend using a framework to make it easier on yourself. There are a lot of them that make it as easy as adding classes to your html: bootstrap, materialize, Bulma, etc

Flexbox is way nicer than the old tables but if you really love what tables let you do there's always display:table. All the fun of html tables but much less 90s.

If you're doing table-like layouts, use <table>. Don't use <div> and CSS. You can totally use display: table-cell and the like to get table-like effects, but it runs counter to semantic HTML
