TAILWIND MARKETING AND MISINFORMATION ENGINE
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
Tailwind CSS's core idea of utility-first workflow is harmful because it breaks established best practices and makes code harder to maintain. Tailwind encourages the use of inline styles and vendor-specific language expressions, which can make code messy and difficult to understand. It discourages semantic class names, which are important for maintainability. Developers should consider learning proper CSS and follow established best practices such as "content first" workflow.
