Hi i'm gonna made some puns from a side and to the other:
half of the issues you mentioned are designers concern and not from developer side. Consistent design and Mobile first is something that needs to be achieved on design side, then a layout builder (that does not need to be a programmer) mocks it with html and CSS (on the perfect world the designer would itself provide the HTML and CSS being a Web Designer instead shitty .psd files or similar things that graphic designers does when working on a job that it's over its skills -> digital responsive design, but this is another story).
The rest of "bad habits" are simplified to: use HTML elements for and how it's intended for. Apart from that there are tones of opinionated stuff around front-end layout and styling which, being html and css not programming languages they are interpreter-dependant so... maybe i'm getting old but if something fits for your needs, use it, just make sure you understood what you are using and what is intended for.
True, some are related to design. When working on a small team, for small businesses, or for personal projects (so from my experience), you tend to find yourself doing double duty as developer and designer.
I tend to be pretty opinionated in my personal blog posts 😂. This one was inspired by a particularly frustrating experience with a very pretty website that didn't work very well. It's not meant to an end-all-by-all guide, but rather some things to think about that I come across often.

I know your situation and I've lived it myself but... Then, to avoid this kind of issues you'll need to dig deeper in Color theory, Shape and Form, digital composition and a pair more of subjects if you want to properly design a good product and even that, you'll make mistakes because it's a completely different job even being related...
just try to focus in what it serves you and always apply the KISS principle so you don't get burnt down by tedious processes and the feeling that you can't get further :)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
