I’m very new to HTML/CSS, and I’ve been following this tutorial video. @42:10 of the video — When I try the "display: flex" to list the skills in two columns, it just ends up in one column that is center-justified (see screenshot and my code below). I’m wondering does anyone know why it isn’t working for me / what I’m doing wrong?
.skills__content {
row-gap: 3.5rem;
}
.skills__title {
font-size: var(--h3-font-size);
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: 1.5rem;
}
.skills__box {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
column-gap: 3rem;
}
.skills__group {
display: grid;
align-content: flex-start;
row-gap: 1rem;
}
.skills__data {
display: flex;
column-gap: .5rem;
}
.skills__data {
display: flex;
column-gap: .5rem;
}
.skills__data i {
font-size: 1.2rem;
color: var(--first-color);
}
.skills__name {
font-size: var(--normal-font-size);
font-weight: 500;
line-height: 18px;
}
.skills__level {
font-size: var(--smaller-font-size);

Thanks to the hint provided by Alochi above, I was able to fix the bug in my code. Originally, I had grouped all of the skills under one skills__group per each skills_box -- In order for the flexbox to show two columns, there should be two skills__groups per each skills__box (see updated HTML code below). Thanks so much for all the help!!
Your code is perfect, you have two menus in columns, you just need to add a couple of CSS rules to skills__content class to make them appear in rows.
Add another display flex and center it
