Mary articulatees what is exactly my concern for newcomers working legacy sites. If we don't have some exposure to at least the timelines and basics, how do we adapt? Of course, we are SUPPOSED to be backward compatible FULL STOP as a foremost design principle of Web, weren't we?

Still methodically stripping the floats out of stylesheets and replacing them with flex and grid.

I also see us selling “Responsive Design! So your site will look great on any device!” Responsive design, but for the grace of core image-handling in my favorite CMS, will download the desktop version of that restaurant’s site to your phone while you’re sitting in its bar.

So the other thing I do, methodically, is media-query the hell out of a stylesheet. With (min-width: 0) — the phone view — first. Then, just as I learned by listening to the @ShopTalkShow on my car radio NINE YEARS AGO, adding wider breakpoints where the design needs to change.
