That's true, but guidance on how to get better at design is much more available than it used to be. I remember creating web sites 20 years ago and getting feedback that they looked dreadful. I had no idea why people didn't like them; I liked them! It turns out I like lots of things that most people don't and I needed guidance to find out what most people like.

20 years ago we were also much more limited in our options- 216-color web-safe palettes, minimal styling & layout, low-resolution displays, etc.

Absolutely. It's a wonderful time to learn.
