Worse.

Isn't cascading styles the whole point of Cascading Style Sheets?

You absolute fool. You must never utter its full name, lest you summon its wrath!

I don't get it, isn't this a pretty normal way of using media queries. Granted you're more likely to see the widths defined in px.

Shhh... The poster doesn't understand CSS and we shouldn't embarrass them in a community with memes

My imposter syndrome kicked in full swing. I was ready to learn a CSS best practice and feel uncomfortable about it for the rest off the day.

Nowadays we do responsive webdesign instead of micromanaging widths.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

This is technically responsive, but I think you have a fair criticism. A single rule like this would be much more maintainable:

#content .grid-container {
	width: 90vw;
	min-width: 12rem;
	max-width: 75rem;
	padding: 2rem 0 1rem;
}

Obviously, media rules have their place, but not for something that's consistantly a full width container like this seems to be.
