I'm actually working on this, releasing it in about a week or so (doing the final edits).

It's called "How To Debug CSS"[1], if you go through my post history, you'll get a good idea of the backstory behind it.

Essentially, what I'm trying to do is help developers like you (who are like me, or at least how I was), in that I knew CSS for a long time, but never really felt like I 'got it', in the same way that I 'got' many of the other aspects of web development.

I've now gotten to a point where this is almost the complete opposite. I now feel like I have gained a certain level of mastery over CSS. And most of it had to do with a simple change of perspective.

Here's an article I wrote as sort of a subset of the book, that covers a lot more about how you can truly start to get better at CSS, as a developer: https://planflow.dev/blog/how-to-get-better-at-css.
