This makes it sound so easy... browser bugs and idiosyncrasies still cling to web development like barnacles. Maybe one day when the old IEs and Firefoxes are dead, web development will become this. I hope it does, at least :)

Good one for Start up developers as this is clean and the challenges in last of the Github Page are fair for them. Good to see that old html tags are not used.

I'm afraid this will always be the case. Any runtime or VM will have bugs, and the fact there are multiple instance in the world of web development only exacerbates this.

One day something new may come out, and the web will become a wasteland and web standards will stop being worked on. Then you may finally get a stable consistent target, but alas there will then be no point...

- things like "first-paragraph" are better written as classes.

- things like odd-even should be implemented with pseudo selectors.

You have to start somewhere - when beginning, there's no reason to worry about different browsers, you need to focus on the core concepts.

It's a shame that they're not producing valid HTML.
