Pro tip: I finally understood CSS Flexbox after drawing it out on graph paper for 20 minutes
I kept fighting with alignment and spacing until I stopped coding and literally sketched boxes with arrows showing where everything should go, and then it clicked so easily - has anyone else had luck with a weird little trick like that for coding concepts?

Graph paper is literally the only way flexbox makes sense.

Graph paper's good for roughing out layouts, but I always end up scribbling arrows to show where stuff should actually go once I start coding.
