Day 2 (cont 2)
What is this CSS "clear" property? Never hear of it! Did a quick goog and it apparently came out in 2015. I wonder how I managed to miss this. But new thing, finally, that I have learnt from this bootcamp. All very exciting.

Ok, ok. I did use "clear" at one tiny instance of my life, I remember goog telling me about it, as I was definitely running into some float issues working on a WP site possibly during 2016-2018. I believe I just took the snippet, and when it just 'worked' in the CSS, I never allow another thought of it cross my mind and, perhaps, the neurotransmitter that connected this memory to the current version of my consciousness is super weak. Still exciting.

I am getting distracted by the lack of challenge of this bootcamp and am starting to feel a sense of ...buyer's remorse on the idea that this was going to challenge and teach me some new things. If my brain yawns again, it is is definitely going to take up some other distracting activity instead that would be beyond my control. Focus!

Like TOO easy:

But ...ok ok ok here is something new. I legit did not know you could do this to optimize for higher resolution images. Neat.

Note: low-key embarrassed that I have missed this, but glad to now have it to be a part of my learnings

I guess when I was working on WP site for B2B companies, the expectation of declaring specific image resolutions for specific page sizes never came up as a concern. I just threw in a bunch of @2x / @3x image sizes to keep things crispy as there was an assumed generalized user expectation that all websites would take a few seconds to load.

 Ok 2:07pm update

I did NOT finish the bootcamp. From Day 1, I thought I could blow through the rest, but it is getting trickier and I DO need to read more thoroughly as I am making a lot of assumptions / mistakes as a result. It is just slightly over the threshold of non-challenging that I am trying to just get it over as fast as I possibly can with before my motivation crashes and never want to pick this up again.

This is what I have left to do:

I still think I deserve a break ~
