Am I the only one that sees a failed sticky footer as a lack of attention to detail/not enough effort on the part of devs?

It's surprisingly (and sadly) non-trivial to make a sticky footer (that stays at the bottom of a page, even if the page's contents are not long enough to fill out 100% of the screen), but this is something I expect just about every experienced front-end dev to know by now.

For those curious about how you solve this (without flexbox, which is something I'd expect frontend devs to know/remember from repeated lookups): http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/layout.css
