Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Minifying CSS files directly is less important today compared to before because popular front-end frameworks automatically handle minification and code-splitting for developers. Modern compression algorithms can reduce file sizes a lot and HTTP/2 can efficiently deliver multiple smaller CSS files. As a result, developers no longer have to manually minify their CSS.
