I'll just say it: fuck CSS. I seriously loathe working with it. But, I guess I gotta still be good at it if I wanna be a competent web developer, right?

As a web developer, you have to know CSS, but SASS or LESS make it easier

@elmediator but I don't necessarily have to be good at design, right? I wish I were working with a team with a designer.

CSS can actually be really powerful once you get the hang of it. The biggest pain is having to deal with browser inconsistencies. But it's gotten better since Microsoft dropped support for older versions of Internet Explorer! :D

@MouseEatsCat yeah. I pretty much know how to use it (except for the more advanced animation stuff), but I'm no expert. But I guess for someone who wants to do actual programming stuff, it's inevitable to find CSS as sort of a waste of time.

@burswag Oh for sure. I know a lot of people that prefer front end development vs back-end and the other way around. But I'd say you always need both. The best web service ever is still considered crap from the user's perspective if the UI is crap. It's a Yin and Yang kind of thing

Sass. I don't build without it anymore.

BEM is supposed to help with organisation and maintainability. You could give that a try.

Actually I think that CSS should be handled by the designers (I mean regular CSS, even preprocessor stuff like SASS – it's less clear whith stuff like React etc.).
You are a "webdesigner" and cannot implement your design? Go back to print, thanks.

Backend dev ftw.

I hate front end development. It not only triggers every bit of OCD, but it makes me want to throw my laptop out the window.

@ingenioushax it's getting so much better, these days it's like full stack just for the front end. I'm struggling to keep up if I'm honest.

@chrizzle: I can't keep up... It's impossible. "Learn this new framework, it's great! Oh wait, this one newer and greater! oh wait, this one!" front-endception... 😑
