View submission: The web redesign, CSS, and mod tools
Same. I'm irate right now. Considering I'm not looking to go into web design as a career and I will most likely never use this knowledge for anything else. These admins are telling me that I've spent hundreds and hundreds of hours on something and they are going to delete it all because they want their website to be as shitty as their mobile app that still doesn't have the majority of mobile users because third party apps are still better.

CSS is a strangely useful skill that crops up more than you think. While I'm a little worried that it took you hundreds and hundreds of hours to learn what is, in effect, a pretty simple system (especially on reddit where you cant even use like half the specification), it can easily come up in the future.
Many applications now use HTML5 and CSS. Things like Spotify etc. In some of these cases you can use CSS to customise your experience, and I see that being more common on the future.
If you ever have any website issues, even not as a web developer, you can often find the problem and tell somebody. If you give somebody a solution it's implemented much more quickly. And if you ever want a small personal website or portfolio it will help.
So don't rule out all your CSS skill. At minimum it's a good resume item, buts that's only if you're younger and have less industry experience.
