Why does nobody talk about how long it takes to fix a simple CSS alignment bug
Spent almost 4 hours last night trying to center a div in my first real project and it turned out I just needed to add 'margin: 0 auto' with a width set. I was reading all these Stack Overflow posts about flexbox and grid and none of them worked for my stupid simple layout. Has anyone else spent way too long on something that should have been a 2 minute fix?

@taylor.susan exactly, I spent an hour last night trying to fix a lightbulb that just needed a twist the other way. Made me feel real smart standing there holding a screwdriver like it was gonna help. Simple stuff always has a way of making you look like a total clown.
