But I was not thinking, "it didn't work." I was thinking, "and it has kept working for decades. Obviously the utility-only workflow described is terrible; it's why I refuse to choose Tailwind.

How to Manage CSS Performance for Websites

Every once in a while someone asks specifically about how to manage CSS performance for a website. What if there's a lot of components? What if there's a lot of animations? What if there's a lot of just CSS?
