Tailwind, CSS and complexity in Computer Science

We treat Tailwind and CSS Modules like they "fix" CSS, but all they really do is shift the complexity and hide it behind new abstractions. In this episode I unpack why tooling isn't a silver bullet, how misuse just reintroduces the same old problems in a new costume, and why understanding composition and semantics in plain CSS still matters if you actually care about engineering.
