Dont let familiarity hold you back

Common patterns that get the job done are handy because if we come across it in a codebase, we know exactly what’s going on… but sometimes, familiarity holds us back. I get pushback when I use new methods to solve things we already have solutions to, but I don’t do it just for the sake of it, I do it because I feel like the new ways are better. Plus, some old patterns, like declaring `flex: 1` on all the flex items to have even columns isn’t exactly common sense, it’s just something we’ve grown familiar with because it works, so there’s no reason other somewhat strange (at first glance, anyway) solutions can’t become common patterns over time. 🔗 Links ✅ My video explaining the * 999 flex switch: ✅ Every Layout: ⌚ Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 00:50 - using ... #KevinPowell #Kevin_Powell #css #front-end #frontend #html #web_development #css_tutorial #tutorial #modern_css 20240125 OtqZKLdDNXY
