Told me my CSS was "too clever" for a landing page project

After I spent 3 days on a grid layout with animated transitions, the lead dev said it would break on any browser from 2019 and made me rewrite it in flexbox with no animations, and now I'm wondering if "works everywhere" should always win over "looks cool."

Honestly that sucks but he has a point. If your cool design breaks on an older phone nobody sees it anyway. Sometimes boring and reliable beats fancy and broken.

So are you saying innovation should just stop because of old tech?
