New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Is it just me, or is CSS too damn hard?

Ask HN: Is it just me, or is CSS too damn hard?
238 by napsterbr | 166 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I'm a seasoned backend developer and systems administrator, with over 10 years of full-time programming experience. I've worked with anything from Assembly, C, Rust all the way to Python, Erlang, Elixir, PHP, Haskell, Lisp, Clojure. When it comes to frontend, I have used React, Vue.js, ReasonML, Clojurescript and Elm extensively, and I know my way around web technologies in general. However, ever since I first started programming, I was NEVER able to get the gist behind CSS. I can't center my divs properly. I can't say "hey, CSS, this is the parent div, and all child divs must obey its size". I can't do anything basic on CSS without turning for help. Incidentally, but very likely related, I always failed to have any glimpse into how design works. I have no idea which colors "go" with which ones, and pretty much all fonts look like the same for me. I'd like to know the experience from fellow programmers. Is CSS an "art" thing? Is it common for other developers to have issues with it, or is it just me? Is there any material out there that made CSS "click" for you?
