Heard a barista explain grid areas with a breakfast plate analogy
I was sitting in a coffee shop in Tucson waiting on a pour over and this guy next to me is explaining CSS Grid to his friend on a napkin. He drew a plate, the eggs in the top left, toast on the right, and bacon stretched across the bottom. He kept saying 'the plate is your container, the food is your items.' Honestly it clicked harder than any tutorial I've watched. I went home and redid my whole pricing page with named grid areas instead of line numbers. Anyone else ever have a random overheard conversation fix a mental block?

Hearing it out loud just makes it stick. Food analogies always work. Named grid areas changed my life too.
