After a series of un/fortunate events, I found myself with time and motivation to rebuild the CSS starter I use for nearly all projects. It's been mostly the same file for around a decade, and it was time to add modern features, remove outdated blocks, and practice good code and knowledge upkeep.
It started as a cleanup and modernizing chore that brought me back to the joy of learning and playing with code for fun and ultimately brought me to some nice discoveries, lessons, and new principles for writing CSS today.
