In my opinion, most CSS bad bits are a byproduct of bad use, not a problem of the language(?) itself.

SASS, BAM, OOCSS, etc are all good practices. You can/will abuse those as well without proper understanding and planning.

I think this is an important topic for teens to understand and be able to openly talk about with their parents or other trusting grownups.

As grownups, I think we start to ignore hoping that kids will be able to figure out on their own without realizing what lasting effect it will have on their future relationship

I agree. Also, most development happens with ambiguous requirements and wants that can never be translated/interpreted correctly by machine (yet?)

Also, most work is some form of addition to an existing code base that simply cannot be re-written every time.

I would like to know the exact intention of Youtube Kids. Is it truly an opportunity for the company to provide a safe place for kids? If so, how exactly are they filtering the contents?

I know, i know, it's free, don't use it, be a parent, blah blah blah. But it is a service being touted as being "kid-safe", are we not allowed to question?

Uber Visa Card 9 years ago

"For purchases and balance transfers, the variable APR is 15.99%, 21.74% or 24.74% depending upon our review of your application and your credit history at account opening. The variable APR for cash advances is 25.99%."

That's why.

I think Brian Dyson said it best:

“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – Family, Health, Friends and Spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.

Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends and have proper rest. Value has a value only if its value is valued.”

Just as you interpret it a certain way, I'm willing to bet a lot of people are interpreting it as "learn software, make millions!" as well.

Thanks, yes I agree it's a lot - but I'm hoping to make something that people can customize so that you don't have 0-100px of choices (but for now, it's an attempt at something new)
