I given up learning any new css, keeping up to date with "solutions" that would create more problems, more code, more confusion and difficult to maintain. I feel like it's becoming this humungous monster we don't want to talk about or admit it's there, for me personally it still has all the problems we complain about since who knows when anymore

If you've given up on learning, naturally your understanding of what problems have been solved (and which remain) is going to be poor.

One of the meta-solutions you've missed is the establishment of "Baseline", which helps web devs understand what features and capabilities are safe to use. I hope this helps! https://web.dev/baseline

Baseline is totally useless, you can have an idea but then still need to go on the detailed browser table to learn more(on mdn). I decided to cherry pick my learning I prefer reading a math book than wasting my time learn by heart what fit-content formula is(total madness):

> Represents the formula max(minimum, min(limit, max-content)), where minimum represents an auto minimum (which is often, but not always, equal to a min-content minimum), and limit is the track sizing function passed as an argument to fit-content(). This is essentially calculated as the smaller of minmax(auto, max-content) and minmax(auto, limit).
