Doing that saved my house, quite literally.&lt;p&gt;CSS can be gnarly and frustrating. This was even MORE true back then when you basically had to create parallel implementations of the same layout to support IE&amp;#x27;s willfully wrong interpretations of the box model (oh, and its bugs). But it beat the everliving crap out of what came before.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve long since left that part of my career -- I mostly talk and tell people what to do now -- but I&amp;#x27;ll always love CSS a little for that period of my life.</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;ve been doing it for so many years yet never thought twice about it.&lt;p&gt;Only a couple months ago I decided to check what Mr Meyer was up to. I bought his book Design for Real life thinking it was about CSS. I was delightedly surprised by the breadth of new things I learned about design that I had never considered before.</text></comment>
