Axel helped me unfuck the HTML and CSS so the background gradient
scaling no longer depends on the size of the body element, which I was
previously locking to the size of the outer html element, and locking
THAT to 100% of the view port size (which is awful code and bad practice)
Axel refactored this so that the outer html element and body element
both naturally scale to the browser size, as expected, and the CSS
background was changed to be fixed at 100% height/width regardless of
viewport size, which results in much cleaner code (thanks Axel)
