That guy who told me to stop using overflow: hidden for my rounded corners was right

Had a guy on a code review last month tell me to use border-radius with clip-path instead for a card layout, and after 3 weeks of using it my animations stopped breaking on hover. Anyone else finally give up on overflow: hidden workarounds?

Some people really overthink CSS, don't they? (shrug)

Notice it everywhere too. Drove me nuts when my neighbor spent 3 hours researching the best way to hang a shelf, then gave up and left the stuff in the garage. Saw a guy at the grocery store yesterday stand in the aisle for 10 minutes comparing two brands of pasta sauce like it was a life or death decision. People get so caught up trying to find the perfect method or the absolute best option that they forget just getting it done is usually good enough. CSS is the same way - flexbox works fine for most stuff, you don't need to build a whole grid system for a simple layout. Sometimes you just gotta type it up and move on.
