Is my syntax wrong?
var myList = document.querySelector('ul');
var firstListItem = document.getElementById('first');
firstListItem.remove('first');
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<title>DOM Manipulation</title>
</head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<body>
<ul>
<li id="first">First Item</li>
<li id="second">Second Item</li>
<li id="third">Third Item</li>
</ul>
<script src="app.js"></script>

Try doing this using "removeChild" instead.
For your own code, you can use "remove" as long as legacy compatibility is not a concern.
