Okay but how do u center a div in 2025
If you define what you mean by centering I'll give you a straight answer.
Vertically? Horizontally? Center the text or the entire box? Compared to the viewport, the parent container or the entire page?
"Centering" isn't as straight forward as you'd think, and what you actually want usually depends on the situation.
Nah, just flex them boxes
Yeah that works if you wanna center a box of content it relative to the parent container, either horizontally or vertically. For other situations we've got different tools

You count half the pixels and put them in a margin-left
While centering div, you add one to 2023.

Can't exit Vim
Ah yes, the legendary filter
I can exit Vim, it just feels like trying to rip out the dashboard and the interiors from a family car because race cars also lack them. Kate is a good speedy alternative to VSCode, not to mention it also does not have Microsoft's greedy hands on it.

My experience is that the programmers from the first row very much still exist. My theory is that the number of programmers from the first row stayed the about same or even increased slightly. There are so many more so called "programmers" overall now, however, that in relation the first row programmers are much rarer now. And to be fair, you don't need a programmer capable of programming entire games in assembly to center a div.
And vice versa, you don’t need to know how to centre a div to create a game in assembler. I’m comfortable using pointers and managing memory, but don’t ask me to do anything with web UI.
I'm guessing that someone who figured out how to keep a high score box centered on screen using assembly will figure it out to do it with CSS.
The reverse, not so much...
But you dont what the code of the assembly-style centered div in your codebase. Because nobody will be able to read it and understand what it even does. There are abstraction specific ways to solve problems and the right way to do something in assembly is not the right way to do it in CSS.
Agreed, in my limited experience with both CSS is like the conceptual opposite of assembly. When I do web design I tell it what I want to look like but can't see how it's getting there because that's done for me. Assembly is the lowest level of abstraction we've got and it took me ages to write a little program for class that returns an argument in it (Jasmin VM) and then get GCC to compile it.
I would say that CSS is like doing an incantation that magically makes the site look good if you do it right, and assembly is like building something by hand.

QA: "Yeah, Hi. Can you look at this defect ticket?"
Reading ticket details...
Me: "Let me guess. Is [whatshisname] responsible for this?"
QA: "Yeah."
Me: "Get him to fix it."
QA: "I tried. Like four times."
Me: Sigh "I'll take care of it."
QA: "Thank you!"
80s programmers hated Unix, btw. Look up Unix Haters Handbook, it's a free and funny read
Unix Haters Handbook
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_UNIX-HATERS_Handbook
Didn't knew this. It has 360 pages, wow!
EDIT:
The Macintosh on which I type this has 64MB: Unix was not designed for the Mac. What kind of challenge is there when you have that much RAM?
hehe
Unix does so many stupid things and we're still stuck with some of them. Especially the terminal section still applies today.
