Tailwind would come out ahead because there are fewer classes that contain the same declarations, so the total number of style declarations would be less.

(Author of Tailwind here) The difference is that inline styles can't use several important CSS features, like media queries or pseudo-classes like `:hover`, `:focus`, etc. You have to first be convinced that inline styles are not inher

GitHub has been switching to functional CSS over the last couple of years: https://primer.style/ I interviewed Diana Mounter who leads their design systems team about this a while back: http://www.fullstackradio.

This is a totally real problem and one of the things that put me off of using some of the existing utility frameworks before creating Tailwind. With Tailwind, we don't try to pretend that you will never need to write any CSS, and inste

Author of Tailwind here! If you haven't worked with a library like this before, I promise your gut reaction will be "holy hell this is the worst thing I've ever seen" (it was my reaction too!) You really do have to try i

Displaying colors properly on wide gamut displays is one. Can't use Firefox because of it — I can't design in the browser if it renders everything wrong on my iMac.

I don't think Stripe identifies as a "payment processing company". That's the category their main product exists in but as I understand it, their mission as a business is to "increase the GDP of the internet",

What frustrates me the most about the GDPR is that a single person building a mailing list for a $19 ebook launch is just as affected and burdened as any other company. A side-business that might make you $30,000/yr is now no longer wo

Really disappointing news, rolling Screenhero into Slack doesn't solve the same problem at all. I work for myself and have a large contact list of people who don't know each other who I often pair with or screenshare with. With Sl

The annoying part about using .test, .localhost, .invalid, etc. is that Chrome still treats "my-project.localhost" as a search instead of doing a DNS lookup. Need to add a trailing slash or specify the protocol, which honestly i

The big issue with extends in my experience is that it changes your source order which can cause unexpected bugs. I'd stick with regular Sass mixins, and if you want to mix in an existing utility, extract a mixin from that utility and

The corporate tax rate here in Canada is 15% for profit up to $500,000, and 25% after that. We also have a lot of rules in place to prevent income from being double taxed, for example if my business pays taxes on $400,000 in profit and I ta

Yeah honestly I was surprised at the success as well, because you're right, it's sort of a niche topic that's hard to tie to some measurable pay off. I can't say for sure what the split was between personal sales and bus

Thanks. I did everything myself; started working on the book during evenings/weekends in February, released in May. I was interviewed about the launch on the Product People podcast a while back if you enjoy these sorts of stories: htt
