I agree with CSS being complicated, but this statement is true for pretty much everything. Not a day goes by I don’t close 20+ reference tabs at the end of the day, not counting what I closed throughout the day. It’s simply impossible to be a polyglot and not use references.

This is certainly true and we had paper books open on the desk at all times at IBM.

Who said the hardest part of programming is naming things? Some people do a better job than others. CSS is really wildly inconsistent within in itself. Is it another case of worse is better? Ugh. Probably.
