🌤️ Stop Using Margin Top. Use Margin Bottom And Gap Instead

Let’s just collectively forget about margin-top please 🙏

Lately I have still a lot of on my plate. But getting back slowly to writing too after the vacation season when no one is reading stuff online anyways.

One thing that I’ve been working lately were keyboard shortcut desk mats for programmers. You can find these for VSCode and IntelliJ IDEA, for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Moreover you can order your own bindings.

What is a great simplification of these theorems, but it’s an interesting thing to read and consider in many aspects of live including if AI will be stupid forever, and it seems it will be. At least according to my interpretation of the theorems.

But aside of that I’m also working as a frontend developer, and lately I noticed something that isn’t really standardized and people tend to do it in a wrong way in frontend development.

Please look at this simple example:

We have a header, body and footer. Body contains three items. It’s quite simple structure that is quite common in apps. That’s why I chose it, because it will illustrate a broader problem.

The HTML for that looks like this:

<div class="header">
  header
</div>
<div class="body">
  <div class="item">item 1</div>
  <div class="item">item 2</div>
  <div class="item">item…
