CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a "programming" language for making websites look pretty by adding colors, changing fonts, and moving things around on the page. It's about as fun to write as documentation, but if you want a job, you're stuck with it.

How to use it in a sentence

• I guess I need to update the CSS on this page, but I'd rather refactor that new API endpoint in Rust.

• Why is the new intern bothering me about CSS specificity rules while I'm trying to debug this Kubernetes cluster?

• Micro Frontends: Techniques for more modular CSS in larger apps, if you're into that kind of thing. Apparently this is a big deal if you work at a "real company" with multiple teams.

• Test-Driving HTML Templates: I guess some people write tests for their CSS and HTML these days. Seems like overkill, but the code samples here are decent if you're into that whole TDD fad.

• Resources: This is just a random link dump, but there are a few things about CSS and web design buried in here somewhere. No guarantees any of the links still work though.
