Oh wow, I had no idea Scrimba was brand new!

I signed up for the Responsive Web Design course last week and I'm getting a lot out of it. This is actually my first time taking any kind of web course of any type, programming or otherwise.

I work in the data/ml stack, not the web stack, and I've avoided learning anything serious about frontend for _years_. Figured it was about time to fix that so that I can get my personal website to look a little less terrible.

The Scrimba course looked like it would check all my boxes about technical content without forcing me to a timeline or a certificate program or being crazy expensive. I'm not looking for a career change into frontend, I'm just somebody who thrives in a structured learning environment for a new subject area.

I can definitely recommend the lesson + interactive in-browser editor combination. It's a powerful tool for fast, real learning. And I'm very grateful that somebody finally explained CSS margin collapsing to me!

My biggest critique so far is that the preview window for the project doesn't really work in Firefox, but things seem fine in Chrome.
