My Journey Losing MadCSS

I recently had the opportunity to compete in Syntax’s MadCSS Battle. I was knocked out fairly in the second round by Scott himself! Check out the battle outcome in the image below.

I felt confident in my approach, but can you see where I lost? A GRID BLOWOUT! I’ve been helping people AVOID grid blowouts for years.

I recently logged into the SynHax¹ website that runs the battles to figure out what went wrong. Learning from mistakes is key, right?
