100% this. What OP seems to be looking for is just a higher level of abstraction. So that there's less repetitiveness. That's exactly what Tailwind does. And does VERY well.

Languages (and technologies in general) evolve. And as they do, it's helpful to evolve your perspective towards them alongside it. Mobile phones started off as simply ways to call people. Are they not much more than that now? Would app

Have you ever found that your enthusiasm towards something changed once somebody explained it to you from a different perspective? A lot of the problem developers have with CSS, has to do with the way they see it. Developers don't typi

Semantics do actually matter quite a bit. They are what ultimately determine your frame of reference, and ultimately, how you use a thing. It's more of a mental model with which to see it. If you view a webpage as something to be &#x27

I appreciate the feedback. The reason why it feels like this is because I haven't included any real CSS based examples here (which I do in the book) of what I mean. These are not easy concepts to digest without visual examples. I will

Happy to expand. One of the concepts I share in the book is on the idea of viewing HTML as a relational structure. Like a database. And how viewing it in that way helps you to better understand positioning (even with CSS). Because re-framin

Very well put. To add to this, the onus is really on the writer to help the reader understand. Repetition is one of the best tools for this. If your reader doesn't get it, they blame you. So its wise to use all of the tools at your dis
