How would you have done differently in the grid spec?
You don't have to use named grid areas if you don't like. But honestly, why wouldn't you. grid-template-areas makes working with grid a walk in the park imo.
Also very few of us web devs know all of CSS by heart. We use tools and reference manuals all the time as we are working. I suspect no python developer knows all of python either and are constantly looking at documentation or hints from their language server/IDE. The real skill is knowing where to look, not what to write.
