"I'm going to manage to make this webpage without so many divs"

"Oh. I need a div there"

"There too"

"Yes, and there ofc."

*looks back at markup*

*sobs*

The div is like our duct tape.

Small question, without any intent to be rude, but how does one do Frontend without going mad? You come out of university, a head full of knowledge and then you're confronted with the fact that ~90% of your work consist of translating some tech illiterates doodles into HTML that they will shit on regardless. Long story short, for some reason there is a fascinating shortage of webdesigner rampages I can't really explain.

Learn the usage for aside and section and don't be afraid to use instead of divs

And article, header, footer, etc. The only issue is that the semantics constantly shift. I preach semantic markup, it's just a constantly moving target.

main and nav too

Use Web Components! The ugliness is not so apparent.
