    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.

        Properly learning CSS requires the mental equivalent of two semesters study plus army training in clearing minefields.

        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
