The State of CSS – The State of the Web

In this month’s episode Rick Viscomi and Una Kravets (Director of Product Design, BDG Media) discuss the state of CSS.

The memes have not been kind to CSS over the years. Remember the gif of Peter Griffin fighting with the blinds, captioned “CSS”? It has a reputation of being unwieldy and hard to use. But how much of that is still true today? Things like preprocessors have helped to hide some of the unpleasantries of CSS and APIs like flexbox, grid, and Houdini have come a long way to help make development easier.
