I failed to recreate the 1996 Space Jam website with Claude

A site in '96 would have been built largely with tables, not CSS. CSS didn't become a thing until a couple of years later.

I know this because I'm still salty about the transition. For all of CSS's advantages, we lost something when we largely moved away from tables.

We lost something for a time but flex box and CSS grid (which came more recently) are objectively better than tables.
