    There are a lot of problems in web development that could be more effectively solved with CSS instead of JavaScript. Many developers turn to include bloated script libraries when CSS could solve the problem with much less code.

    There are some optional courses around getting to know the your tools better, and getting better at design. Visual Studio Code is today’s most popular code editor for web developers. Chrome Dev Tools has a ton of features most developers aren’t using. Plus being able to design and use SVG are skills that can go beyond code and give you more autonomy over your work.
