  1. 8:36 just inspect element? This is the same thing as extracting html into components or partials, but for styling. If its fine to extract html into partials or components (or whatever terminology you use) then it’s fine to do the same with styling. If you don’t, then how do you know you are applying consistent styling and not missing something and unknowingly creating small visual inconsistencies? Then later on, some developer has to decide whether the omission was purposeful or not.

  2. 7:38 breakpoint classes are frustrating… does the css apply or not apply when above or below that breakpoint.. so many permutations of possibilities of what will apply when.

  3. We wouldn’t need tailwind if html allowed attributes like style:hover=“…” style::before=“…” etc. or supported some syntax to allow inlining of all or most of the special css pseudo classes and elements, selectors, combinators, etc.
