Chase McCoy wrote a nifty post about the “gap problem” when making a grid of items. His argument might be summarized like this: how should we space elements with margins in CSS? He notes that the gap property isn’t quite ready for prime time when it comes to using it with flexbox, like this:

Ahmad Shadeed digs around the new Facebook’s front-end code.

How They Fit Together: Transform, Translate, Rotate, Scale, and Offset
30.3.2020
Firefox 72 was first out of the gate with "independent transforms." That is, instead of having to combine transforms together, like:
.el {
transform: rotate(10deg) scale(0.95) translate(10px, 10px);
}
...we can do:
.el {
rotate: 10deg;
scale: 0.95;
translate: 10px 10px;
}

:nth-child(2 of .bar) { }

To add inline styles on an element in JSX, you have to do it in this object syntax, like:
<div style={{
fontSize: 16,
marginBottom: "1rem"
}}Content
</div
That might look a little weird to us folks who are so used to the CSS syntax, where it is font-size (not fontSize), margin-bottom...
