Me every time I have to adjust the css:

*center that div*
*hit refresh*
Fuck, now that button is over there.
*adjust the padding and kajigger with the margin a little*
*hit refresh*
Ah, I'm an idiot. I forgot to set the display to inline-block.
*adjust the display*
*hit refresh*
WHY THE FUCK IS THE BACKGROUND RED NOW??!?!?!?

What I do sometimes: I edit the css in chrome for realtime analysis then copy it to my ide

@juzles I try to do the same. But I have the habit of adding 5+ changes to a certain element and then forgetting which one actually fixed the problem lol.

Chrome dev tools have the ability to work off of local files and save as you make changes, it took me a while before I realized this (it's not necessarily obvious) but makes that whole process a bit easier.

You should check out Emmet's Livestyle plugin/extention!

Yeah it'll let you map the external css file edits to a local file.... but what if you're using a preprocessor (less/scss/etc) not so much fun then

@rozzzly
Fair enough, I simply have not gotten into sass/less.. I feel like the area of web programming that is currently CSS is not only inadequate but constantly changing and will be entirely replaced within the next few years, so I feel there's no sense in spending the time to work with one of these abstraction layers.. That said I have worked with someone else's code that used less and I liked a few aspects of it and understand why people go for it..

Learn SCSS. Now. Seriously, you're wasting time not knowing it. After you do learn it:

1) you got more experience under your belt/things to put on a resume

2) you save a lot of time in developing

3) Even if things do change (well css preprocessors have been popular for over half a decade... it doesn't look like LESS/SCSS is going anywhere anytime soon!) then atleast you have something to build on. It's easier to learn a new language if you already know 10 than it is if you only know 2

@rozzzly
I do see your point... but I'm balls deep learning so many other things every day and I know CSS, that is I know CSS enough to get everything I need to get done..

Try brackets! You can change something, and have it immediately reflected on the page live

@DrEmann about brackets. Does the screen auto-update if you're using webpack?
