Amit Sheen joins us to discuss the recent "Tailwind fiasco" on tech Twitter, which reignited the same arguments from two years ago. Sheen argues that while Tailwind is a great tool, it has its limits and should be used in the right context. He believes that having 30 classes on a button is an inadequate usage of Tailwind and that readability is important in code.
