Overheard a dev say 'just center it with margin auto' and it hit me how differently we think about alignment
Was grabbing coffee near the office and two front end guys were talking about a layout issue. One kept saying just use flexbox, the other was insisting on grid. And I realized I spend half my time tweaking alignment by eye in Figma - nudging things pixel by pixel - while they just type one line of code and it's perfect. Never really thought about how much time I waste on visual micro adjustments that could be solved with a single rule. Has anyone else tried replicating CSS logic in their design files to cut down on manual tweaking?

And here I am still nudging my lawn signs by eye until they look straight enough.
