The biggest problem with CSS when trying to maintain a design system is the same problems you run into any time you use inheritance in programming.
Inheritance has its place, but making your CSS composable the way Tailwind does makes it practical to actually adhere to a design system.
If you’re more worried about the purity of your HTML, then Tailwind is not for you.
The fact that they are so polarizing with just design choices is their edge.
You either love it or hate. It’s a lot like Rails in this regard.
Treat everyone, no matter who they are, like someone you admire and you can’t go wrong anywhere in the world.
“Punk mostly wasn't very good at all, because it was fashion and performance art and social criticism and musically quite conservative and dull in addition to being amateurish”
That is just an objectively wrong worldview—that Punk was just fashion and a mostly dull, amateur genre.
And I agree with everything you say about Prog.
Go listen to Pink Flag by Wire. It basically is Prog, but stripped all the way down to pure elegance and irony, imbued with the attitude of the earliest rock and roll. Still fresh today.
So many great bands and classic albums. Were the beatles and elvis proto-punk, or were the clash and ramones early rock and roll?
The kinks you really got me, the stooges search and destroy. You’re right Led Zeppelin is silly next to that.
But dull and amateurish, no way. That’s the mindset of someone with a narrow palette.
Good thing Punk is the ultimate palette cleanser. The smartest genre of music we’ve created yet.
