Sometimes the frustration of ineptitude can make you want to stop.

The unskilled will succumb to their old ways and not try anymore.

I should know. I have been there.

These past 5 days have been frustrating for not being to articulate in code what I want to create.

It all stems from little understanding of concepts and tools and little practice.

I had a small breakthrough today. I fixed -or better- figured out what the "weird" grid behavior was all about.

And it wasn't weird at all.

It was all but an incorrectly placed html element.

The sword master in blue eye samurai said to his apprentice: before making a sword, you must first make 1000 knives.

This one I am making is neither a sword nor close to being the 1000th knife.
