It's a crazy contrast to spend much of my day watching (over & over, while I take notes, looking up specs & reading) a video of presentation by one of the only experts in the world who understands 'auto' in CSS — because she's one of the people who invents it — so that…

so that I know every possible detail with perfect precision, so I can teach it to all of you. Meanwhile, I keep opening twitter (I don't know why) to a stream of men telling a bunch of other CSS experts (who all, surprise, happen to be women) why they are wrong & stupid & wrong.

I know most of you men "don't mean to"... but you are seriously far more arrogant than your level of understanding deserves, and far too caught-up in the notion that if a woman knows more than you, your manhood is at risk. Must defend. With strength. You make us want to quit.

Ooo, I should institute another quiz that you must pass before you can tell me how wrong I am (or play for fun!) What two display modes create two or more CSS boxes? Which two create zero CSS boxes? The rest create one CSS box — which you knew already, of course. 😉

Ergh, you've totally nerd sniped me with this. And I'm trying to figure this out without actually reading the spec. I think I know one of each, based on my initial thought, but I can't think of the others!

Ergh, none. Duh. *facedesks* I was thinking table-column-group. What box does that create?

It makes a table-column-group box. See, say, drafts.csswg.org/css2/tables… . (But what's a box if you can't see it?) On the other hand, its backgrounds do show up somewhat indirectly through drafts.csswg.org/css2/tables… , and its borders show up indirectly when border-collapse: collapse.
