Z-Index 99999: The Invisible Struggle

Ah, the classic CSS battle against invisible elements. Setting z-index to 99999 is basically the frontend equivalent of yelling "COME OUT, I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!" at your monitor. Meanwhile, your div is probably hiding behind another element with position: relative that you forgot about three hours ago. The true villain isn't the z-index—it's the CSS stacking context that silently judges your desperate attempts at bringing elements forward. After eight years of frontend development, I've learned that no matter how big your z-index number is, there's always some parent container laughing at your pathetic attempts to control the layout.
