Old Dogs, New CSS Tricks

Great article! CSS doesn’t get enough attention - not outside of Tailwind, which I don’t think is the way to go, but that’s another story.

:has() and :is() are awesome.

One issue I’ve had with any of the newer CSS features is that, most of the people I work with don’t know what they do, because nobody use them. So, I have to explain myself in each pull request - but I guess that’s ok, because then people learn.

Agreed, I still prefer to write my own CSS than using tools like Tailwind.

For specific components, I use explicit CSS, but for layout <divs> I use the tailwind shorthand (flex, flex-row, mb-7) and just add those to my CSS as I go so I don't need tailwind as a dependency. It's the best of both worlds.
