And good web development is harder because still too often web design is done by designers who don't have enough understanding of web development. My gawd, just earlier today I saw a help wanted that said "...PSD to pixel perfect..." I would have laughed if I wasn't already crying. "This is my life" and then the tears kicked in.

  Tailwind is anti-semantic. It's a less verbose version of the style="..." attribute. It's like people just gave up on the idea of element classes altogether.

    Because they don’t work, and you end up with some pseudo-semantic but actually not hell.
