Take a deep breath. Calm down. It's ok if you don't know every single new CSS property. The truth is, very few of us do.

Look, one of this survey's goals has always been to help keep developers up to date on the latest and greatest CSS improvements. But the downside is that all this progress can sometimes feel overwhelming.

That’s why this year we made a conscious effort to reduce the number of features covered in the survey, focusing instead on the ones that matter most.

And in these times of AI-assisted code generation especially, maybe doing less—but doing it better—is how those of us who still insist on hand-coding our software can stay competitive.

So once again, please join us for this year's State of CSS!
