I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I think making z-indexes multiples of 10 or 100 is a sound idea, for the same reason it made sense in BASIC line numbering. Without a system to renumber them for you, if you want something to appear between two layers, you're in for a long morning.
Unfortunately, z-index is one of those properties that doesn’t always behave in an intuitive way. It seems simple at first; a higher z-index number means the element will be on top of elements with lower z-index numbers. But there are some additional rules that make things more complicated.
Anyway, all developers go by one rule : 'If it works, don't touch it!' 😂
So, if multiples of 10 or 100 is working, you know what to do 😂🤣
