It's wild how much JS and old HTML/CSS hacks I can replace with just a few lines of CSS grid, native CSS animations, and the popover attribute…

I saw a post once that said "Developing for IE6 was a lot like Woodstock. Nobody can explain it, you just had to be there". I'm so glad those days are long over.

Haha, that feels about right. There are definitely things that I still do to this day that are probably 100% unnecessary, but I lived through the early days of web design… frames -> tables -> floats -> flexbox -> grid

(Any time I see a JS framework boast about how things like sidebar scroll position is preserved across pages, I think about how we had that with the <frameset> tag in the 90's 😂)

Oof, frames. I remember being so happy I could build them in FrontPage 98.
