Sure, can you whip up an easy 3 column layout for me using the parts of CSS that are fully standardized?

CSS does a lot of things really well, but makes some common tasks way more difficult than they need to be.

This is pretty contrived but it took less than 10 minutes and required 0 googling:

The important two css classes:

    .Example--outer-container {
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: row;
    }
    
    .Example-three-column-inner-container {
      width: 33.333%;
    }
