What do I need to read to be a great at CSS?

This question isn’t really about the two sites mentioned but about the frustration we all feel with the endless treadmill of keeping up with what’s happening in web dev. Especially, since a lot of it feels so unproductive:

  • Articles on features that haven’t shipped yet and may never ship everywhere.

  • Masturbatory “let’s do this without any JS!” articles that end up being much more complicated than adding, like, a line or two of JS.

It’s a lot. It’s frustrating. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Which is the reason why I felt the urge to reply with the following. Hopefully others will find it helpful.
