Question about the time I threw out our whole spacing scale and rebuilt it on an 8px grid
I was at my desk in Austin around 11pm when our checkout page started breaking on every screen size, and I realized our 7 shades of grey spacing values were the real problem, not the code. I replaced the whole scale with a simple 8px system and rewrote the tokens in one pass that night. Has anyone else had a spacing scale quietly wreck a layout while everyone blamed the dev team?

Did my own version of that once where I spent two hours blaming the CSS before realizing my spacing tokens were just vibes? Seven greys turned into four and suddenly the checkout page stopped having a meltdown on every phone.
