I'm a backend developer, who works mostly in python. I'm probably never going to learn CSS but I can produce a user interface that looks like I'm competent by copy-pasting tailwind divs. In 5 years, I'll hire someone who knows CSS to fix it. It'll be cheap because webflow and squarespace are allowing graphic designers to build websites, which is squeezing the demand for CSS as a skill.
- appplication 3y agoI second this as a backend python dev. I’m adopting tailwind for my latest project because I don’t need to learn the intricacies of front end styling. I really care so very minimally about it, and respectfully do not think anyone is going to need to be CSS masters in 20 years. If there’s any area where LLMs show promise to write reasonably responsible code, it’s front end styling. And that is coming from a huge skeptic of LLMs.
