I appreciate the simple way CSS is written, but I find myself struggling with it quite a lot even after many years of actively using it. I think there may be something in the way it's been designed that is preventing me from having the moment where it all clicks. I want to be able to think, "ohh that's how that works, now the rest is falling into place", but instead I'm hacking and slashing and failing forward until something looks the way I want. Every time. I don't know for sure if that's me not being smart enough or if there's some design flaw that's preventing a clear mental model. If anyone has any good resources for that I'd love to see it.
