Stopped designing on autopilot after a senior dev hit me with 3 questions about my spacing
Used to just eyeball padding and margins until a guy at this agency in Denver asked me why every element was 32px apart. Now I lead with an 8px grid system and it saves me 2 hours of tweaking per layout, what's your go-to spacing rule when something feels off?

Used to think grids were overkill honestly... but then a lead showed me how my inconsistent padding was breaking responsive layouts on tablet. That 8px base unit is solid though, I stick to multiples of that now and my work just holds together better across screen sizes.
