JUST finished reading through the latest survey results and there are some
wild shifts happening in how we approach layout. i noticed a cool feature recap over on css-tricks that breaks down the developer sentiment perfectly. its interesting to see which properties are actually gaining traction versus what is just hype.
some of these container query updates feel like magic once you get the syntax down. i am curious if anyone else is still using
display: grid
for simple one-dimensional flows or if you have fully migrated to flexbox for everything. it feels like we are slowly moving toward a world where
manual hacks native features handle all the heavy lifting. definitely worth a read if you want to see where the industry is
