Honestly thought I'd never use CSS Grid until I actually sat down with it

I spent like 6 months wrestling with float layouts and Bootstrap grids (you know, the old way) because I figured learning a new layout system would take too long. Then last Wednesday I followed the CSS Grid Garden tutorial over my lunch break and it just clicked, maybe 45 minutes total. The game-like format made me actually understand implicit rows and column gaps for the first time. Has anyone else found a random tutorial that made a scary concept super simple?

Grid Garden is just a game, not real production code - flexbox works fine for 95 percent of layouts.

lmao Grid Garden is literally how I finally understood grid too. The whole game thing is so underrated for learning. Flexbox is cool and all but I just threw my hands up with floats forever. That tutorial basically saved me like two weeks of banging my head against the wall.
