I am a developer at The Washington Post and I help build newsroom facing tools. I also am the Chair of the DC chapter of ACM and produce a podcast called DC Tech Stories.
Depends on the team. So much of the WaPo.com pages are served from different teams so sometimes the page will use a specific css grid or bootstrap, sometimes they wont. We use an internal 'CMS' that builds these pages so they handle much of the general layout - they do have their own css guide that they follow. Much of my work is internal so we use boostrap. I personally am a huge bootstrap hater but thats my opinion :P

I knoooooooowwwwww.... for seniors and back end devs I'm like go for it... if you're a junior or front end, you need to be able to do that kinda stuff on your own - no grid will substitute learning the tricks of vanilla CSS layout

I am not a fan of CSS frameworks - I think they get in the way. HOWEVER if you do want one for getting things done quickly that bootstrap is as good as any of them ! I recommend a starting point (normalizer, bootstrap ect) then using sass to keep whatever styles are specific to your site clean and plop them right on top (kinda like Dev.to boostrap!)

Thanks Jessica! It'd be cool to dump bootstrap, but it's so convenient :)

Any CSS frameworks or methodologies you'd like to recommend for dev.to as we attempt to overhaul the whole thing?
