I think this is a great tutorial but I also think it's absolutely not needed because of how many other similar guides have already been done.
Now, I'm not trying to be arrogant about it either.
This tutorial could have been 10 times better if Josh didn't pretend like what he wrote hasn't already been done (it has been, a million times, and I don't know why you'd keep beating this dead horse over and over again) - and instead made this same exact tutorial but actually built functional layouts in the process. You know, web pages that use Flexbox.
People don't learn by clicking on fancy buttons that rearrange some boxes in a specific order. People learn by example and by visually seeing the consequence of an action (in this case, the value of a property).

No offense meant at all to the author, of course.
