I worked as a lead front-end dev in China for three months, in two cities with two development different teams. And it was mind-blowing for me what they were doing in their CSS. It was so different than what I was used to, even though I'd already worked with many dozens of different teams, on hundreds of projects, in multiple countries across Europe and North America, over two decades. And yes, I saw code that had random ASCII symbols all over the place to comment things out, or make them work one way for one version of IE while another way for another version of IE. The experience taught me there's an _incredibly_ wide variety of how people write their CSS. Especially given how many web developers do not speak English — there's a lot of diversity and variety in what's considered "best practice" in one community / country / continent vs another.
