This was a great article and I learned a few new tricks.

I learned CSS over the years by gradually solving problems I encountered building apps. Compare this to people learning CSS now as evidenced by the #100DaysOfCode tag on Twitter.

The results are pretty amazing, but I have my doubts about whether these skills are easily translatable for building an interactive, responsive UI. Some examples:
