Some 20 years ago I wrote a series of blog post about laying out Web pages with #CSS. It was full of hacks, playing on side effects of properties and browser bugs. I haven't seriously worked with CSS for over 10 years, and now suddenly I need to make a simple page again.
So imagine my wonder at discovering `width: fit-content`! I mean, it's so… obvious. And we just didn't have it back then.
(Also, my warmest gratitude to everyone who made MDN possible. You're heroes.)
