Libraries like Tailwind became quite popular and their utility-first-aka atomic classes-approach was an interesting paradigm shift in CSS. Many developers love it, and it's understandable why.
However, we tend to forget that the core of this technique isn't new. Way before Bootstrap we all had our own small CSS snippets copied from project to project with similar classes.
However, there are good reasons why we stopped doing that for a while and we should discuss them before using them everywhere.
In this session, we'll discuss the evolution of scalable CSS, walk through the limitations and drawbacks of Atomic CSS, and also figure out where this concept can come in handy.
