ggromx4367yWhen you have years of experience, you learn how to achieve your design with less guesses...

As a backend developer, my knowledge of styling is limited to creating nice vim, terminal & IDE color schemes.
Understanding css or sass/less syntax is easy, learning which browser supports what is also easy.
But developing that intuition to pick the right fonts and sizes, use the right amount of margin space, making menus, buttons and modals which feel just right, using subtle enough animation effects.
I always make fun of our design, UI & frontend teams, but secretly, I have quite a lot of respect for their ability to quickly whip up these amazing looking mockups and SVG animations. -
@ggromx i do frontend for 7+ years, im still guessing and googling stuff daily :').
But with experience comes better understanding of how css works yes -
ggromx4367y@daredevil yeah i totally agree.
I can explain how everything works, guess what i need to achieve a design, but if you ask me for a lineal gradient I'll need to ask Google.
