And then you realize that the previous programmer abused the anchors to build all of the buttons.

Hey it's not my fault, this project was started in 2018 and they choose to use bootstrap.

Oh god I didn’t expect that to give me the level of PTSD flashback that it did.

Fuck bootstrap with a rusty pitchfork.

It’s not as bad as it used to be. Some things require you to use a few more selectors that you’d normally write, but that’s really only tables.

Most stuff is exposed via CSS variables nowadays.
