Most of it _is_ the stress. That's the environment you'd be coding in, so makes sense to test for it.
I have no clue of "webflow" purpose based on it's marketing/buzzword filled landing page, but seems it's just a "no code" abstraction on top of HTML/CSS?
yet another SaaS that really does not need to be online 24/7. It could have been a simple app where you could "no code" on local machine and async state with webflow servers.
It's painful to use, but lets non-technical clients edit copy and create content in a safe environment. There's a runtime CMS types creator and a WYSIWYG html editor with facility for code blocks from global to inline scopes. Also comes with batteries included deploy. It's basically a one or two levels higher Squarespace/Wix

douglee650 commented on CSS's problems are Tailwind's problems colton.dev/blog/tailwind-... · Posted by u/coltonv
Reading though this, I really have to wonder how this is better than
<button style="css blob">After</button>
I am a convert, once you get the hang of the configurability it's very good (Tailwind 4). You don't have to go to separate files which is more streamlined, esp when doing in React.
I like to format in logical chunks per line, for example here's a pretty complex grid setup that is easy to adjust in the template:
----
<section className="
w-full
px-8 py-16
md:px-16
">
<div className="
grid
gap-2
auto-rows-[minmax(0px,1fr)]
grid-cols-[repeat(1,minmax(4rem,1fr))]
grid-rows-[repeat(1,minmax(4rem,1fr))]
md:grid-cols-[repeat(6,minmax(6rem,1fr))]
md:grid-rows-[repeat(3,minmax(6rem,1fr))]
xl:grid-cols-[repeat(8,minmax(6rem,1fr))]
xl:grid-rows-[repeat(2,minmax(2rem,1fr))]
justify-center
">

Yeah, I've been a fairly vocal curmudgeon about Tailwind within my team. Some folks really like it. They're doing the work and I trust them, so I rolled with it.
I still have qualms with Tailwind. My classic CSS sensibilities are offended, but whatever. The part that I still don't like is really what this post boils down to: a massively complex build system that creates footguns in the weirdest places.
That being said, Tailwind that's set up well in coordination with a complex design system really does feel like it's a win. Seeing that in action was an aha moment where I was able to see value that made some of the tradeoffs worth it.

Can you elaborate on this a little bit — was there a lot of Figma tooling, plugins to swap variables between systems, etc?

The other thing that people seem to just either forget or ignore is that you can do _both_ things! Tailwind can be used for the areas that it makes sense for, and you can write a sitewide layout using insane (in a good way!) grid declarations using plain old CSS and a few extra classes in your markup.
If you're using Vue, you even get a <style> block that can be injected into any component so you're still working in the same context. It's all delightful and optional and you can still do whatever you want.
Yes, exactly. You can use TW for the utility classes and copy-paste-and-go components, and append your own over/under/side-lay layers to create whatever css you want.
What about a system that could take a really long TW className and let you give it a single name, and you could still append more TW after for here and there adjustments.

I guess I just don't see "tribalism". I know it's a popular description though for the divisiveness we find ourselves in politically.
But I consider the things important to me, the beliefs, the issues: and they, all of them, align with a progressive, left-leaning ideology. I'm not just glomming on to everything one "tribe" or another stands for ... one group actually reflects everything I believe. (I think I could split a few hairs here and there, but we're still talking perhaps 95% alignment.)
But I don't think that is too surprising. Others, smarter than me, have gone into great detail about the underpinnings of left-leaning or right-leaning world views in people. Fear of change, empathy ... a number of ideas have been put forth. By this reasoning it naturally follows that those of a certain "personality" will also share common beliefs, ideologies.
The implication instead seems to be that unless you are somewhere in the middle of the spectrum you must be "tribal". That feels dismissive.
In the US, you vote for one party or the other. It reduces to tribalism, so why do the extra work to get to the reductive result?

> Based on the notice Samsung published, Han's co-CEO Young-Hyun Jun is now the sole CEO of the company. Jun, who also heads Samsung's semiconductor business, was appointed as Han's co-CEO in November 2024.
I guess he had been co-CEO since November. That’s about as smooth of a transition one could hope for? (As far as the company welfare goes.) My thoughts are with his family. An abrupt loss like this must be painful.
This is Engadget's error, but the name would be Y(o)ung Hyun-Jun, where Yung is the last name, and Hyun-Jun is his "first+middle" name
