Web Dev Simplified

A developer attempts to recreate a UI design using only CSS in 10 minutes as part of a timed challenge on CSSBattle-style platform. The walkthrough covers planning the layout using flexbox, applying CSS variables for colors, styling score rows with dotted borders, and fine-tuning typography and spacing. After achieving a 73% match manually, the author tests the same challenge with AI, which scores only 61% and produces quirky artifacts like unnecessary linear gradients, hardcoded pixel values, and ignored CSS variable instructions — concluding that AI is a useful starting point but not a reliable replacement for hands-on CSS skills.
