Dude congrats! But okay real talk - was it the grid template areas that tripped you up or the whole fr unit thing? I swear I spent like an hour just trying to figure out why my columns werent lining up and it was because I forgot to set a width on the container. What did you mess up on the first 3 tries?

Yeah, the "forgot to set a width" thing is pretty relatable. It reminds me of trying to put together those flat-pack furniture pieces - you get so focused on the fancy joints and screws that you miss the basic step of having a flat surface to work on. The little fundamentals always trip you up.
