Every <div> you add increases your hourly salary by $1.

But really, it's frameworks that do this. I use Material UI at work, and the simple login page I did for the project I'm working on now has six nested <div>s just for simple positioning of buttons when using MUI's layout components. In comparison, the latest versions of Postmill, where I did all the HTML/CSS from the ground up, has a maximum of four nested <div>s in direct succession.

Don't like the "improvements" they made to the colours, which just made things harder to read. In particular the syntax highlighting has really poor contrast, and making the text less black isn't an improvement either.

It's good as a general introduction to what CSS can do, but it'd be better if accessibility was addressed.

I love Clint, but many of the social aspects of the things he covers goes straight over his head. Like in the Microsoft BOB review he fails to mention how the product was marketed towards stay-at-home mums, and how condescending it was in that regard. This is such a huge aspect of BOB that every reviewer gets wrong.
