Yeah, "pinch flats" are a total rookie mistake.

Grid-template-areas was the same turning point for me. I spent a whole weekend trying to line up a complex sidebar layout with floats and clearfix hacks. Saw a demo using named areas and rebuilt it in twenty minutes. It feels like cheating after all those years.

Feel your pain. That kind of misalignment is a nightmare to track down. Been there.

Seriously? That sounds like a huge waste of money. Paying $200 for someone to do a basic task you could learn in ten minutes is wild. The free course would have given you the knowledge to fix ALL your meta descriptions yourself, forever. That local workshop just created dependency instead of real skill. The real value is in learning the principles, not having your hand held for one single fix.

Had a guy using a penny behind a fuse because he kept blowing them. That's a direct short waiting to happen. The metal can weld itself right to the socket.
