This resonates quite well with my experience.

If you understand CSS well and you’re using TW, you will ~never have to go chase down some crazy style cascade via the inspector.

No amount of understanding CSS can save you from that in a complex CSS/SCSS codebase, because it’s how CSS is meant to be used.

Yeah it wasn't until I was reflecting and writing that comment that I realized _I don't remember the last time I had to look at CSS in the dev tools_ and how much better my life is for it.

Maybe I just suck at CSS. I mean, I've been using it for decades, but maybe I'm too stupid to actually understand it. And maybe it's the same story for everyone else I've ever worked with and that's why my experience with it has never lived up to the ideals.

... but if that's the case then at this stage of my career, with vast and varied accomplishments behind me, I think that says more about CSS than about me.
