Episode notes

When you give something position absolute, you're pulling it out of the dock ment flow entirely. It's not that position absolute is bad, but there are often tools that are in c s s for the next last ten years that are better than using position. If if you're going to be animating and moving something, every single time, you want to use a translate three d. Thatis just us transform if you're animating it,. Like lig y said, like one step further is like positioning something absolute just to left, top, right, left it. And then you don't have to orry about any issues that come up with a position absolute.

In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes do a little this vs that with map vs reduce, forEach vs for in, .hasOwnProperty() vs in vs .hasOwn(), CSS absolute + left/right/top/bottom vs transform, and more.
