Centering divs Memes

When you tell people you're learning CSS, you go through the five stages of grief in real-time. First there's the confident declaration, then the slow realization that centering a div is somehow still a theological debate in 2024. The emotional rollercoaster from "I got this" to "why won't this margin work" to "what even is specificity" to "I'll just use !important everywhere" happens faster than your browser can render a flexbox. CSS has this unique ability to make you feel like a genius and a complete impostor within the same hour. You'll nail a complex animation, feel like a design god, then spend 2 hours figuring out why your button is 3 pixels off-center. The learning process is basically an infinite loop of Stack Overflow tabs and questioning your career choices.
