Tried a weird trick for a tight corner and it actually held up

I was working on a simple website and my text kept running outside its box on small screens. After two hours of trying different things, I watched a video from a coder in Chicago who said to use 'overflow-wrap: break-word' in the CSS. I put it in, and it fixed the problem right away. Has anyone else found a simple CSS fix that saved them a lot of time?

My friend was going crazy because her buttons kept stacking wrong on mobile. She found a forum post that said to add "flex-shrink: 0" to the button CSS. It was a total game changer and fixed her layout in like two minutes.

Flex shrink is a lifesaver for weird flexbox bugs.
