I do have an issue with growth obsession, but I concede it's unrelated. If you only have enough resources to do some subset of tasks, you should of course prioritize what's best for your business. I happen to work for a company that's not running on fumes, so I think they can afford to do some more sanding. How is padding different? It's kind of in the definition of padding.

> How is padding different? It's kind of in the definition of padding. I was responding to you raising technical questions about how could gap work in some edge cases by saying: "same as padding". If "gap" is always used like padding, why wouldn't it behave the same? FTR, I am not sure it's used like that commonly (I've stopped doing CSS UIs before the flexbox came to be): I am not putting that out as a conditional b…

Why do you not have any power to fix it?
Essentially all work is driven/prioritised by the product owner and is signed off by a product council. I can't instruct the team to spend time on things not on the backlog.
