Yeah, the advent of CSS frameworks introduced the concept of a relatively small number of global breakpoints. The consequence of this was that at certain widths, typically some figure meant to represent a change on form factor (mobile, tablet, laptop, desktop), there'd be dramatic layout shifts.

For a long time I resisted this, opting instead for more surgical introduction of a breakpoint, literally at the _point_ where some part of a page's design _breaks_ (not really the etymology of the word, but it's fun to think of it this way). But it's felt like a decade-long battle against the momentum of the industry, and sometimes I just want to build things rather than fight.
