🔥 Oh, the bravery of our keyboard warrior, valiantly battling the evils of #Tailwind with the ancient wisdom of high school CSS! 😂 Clearly, if you dare use a framework, you're nothing more than a mere mortal in the godly realm of div centering. But don’t worry—unless your paycheck depends on it, of course. 💼
