It seems to me that everyone is trying to normalize terminology and job titles instead of normalizing skills and disciplines. Why not read a book or follow a tutorial? Anyone can learn CSS from zero to expert in a week. Instead we spend time giving ourselves a new title that is just the right mix of accurate and ego-stroking.

I've never seen anybody pick it up that fast. Even the best students coming out of multi-month frontend bootcamps aren't at an expert level.

They do not teach CSS at any bootcamps as far as I know. It is considered too easy to waste time on in a bootcamp.

Maybe the (highest level of) basics, but as someone who's been in the industry 21 years and manages all hiring for front-end, the one area of front-end that everyone seems to think is easy but also one of the rarest skills to find on the market is someone who actually understands the finer points of CSS, like why one would use "font-display: swap" in the context of performance, the performance implications of complex CSS on mobile devices, CSS methodology rationale, accessibility implications of using X vs Y, best way of delivering CSS to accelerate the "Start Render" metric, etc.
