Interesting side effects of css utility frameworks: I was trying to scrape a website that uses tailwind this week and it’s really difficult, as nothing had a unique class name.

But alas, the battle for semantic css has already been lost and the community keep going in the opposite way (first bootstrap, which was halfway through, now tailwind which is basically inline styles with variables).
