<p>You haven't really lived until you've had to type this whole thing, aware of the fact that the all-caps doesn't change much, but they stay because the rage has to go <i>somewhere</i><p>Bonus points if you find yourself actually saying it out loud while typing it.<p>I have used the word "shenanigans" way more in a couple of years of agentic coding than in 30 years of writing code with humans.</p>

<p>The problem of 8yr olds watching too much YouTube is definitely not one for YouTube to fix.<p>We're quickly getting to a point where all parenting is delegated to people and institutions that have nothing to do with raising children.<p>And then we complain that our kids are not being raised properly. We don't even know who to blame for this any more.</p>

<p>Nothing about programming forces anyone to do anything.<p>That's never been a valid argument to dismiss criticism. It wasn't with Dreamweaver, any it wasn't with visual basic, and it isn't with Tailwind.<p>Patterns matter. Best practices matter. Path of least resistance matters. Those are all choices you make when you develop a CSS framework. Some of those choices are good and some are bad.<p>If none of those things mattered, them choosing a CSS framework would not matter at all.</p>

<p>> can tailwind be used poorly? absolutely. but that's true of any tool<p>Can tailwind be a useful CSS framework? Absolutely, but that can be said of any of them.<p>Which is precisely why it makes sense to point out it's <i>unique</i> flaws, so that people can make an informed decision as to what works best for them.<p>If you have some <i>unique</i> feature to tailwind that you think makes it better than the rest, you should share that.<p>Everything you have listed is also accomplished by all the other CSS frameworks, so it almost sounds like tailwind is simply the main one you have experience with.</p>

<p>> basically no "specs" - just giving it coherent sane direction<p>This is one variable I almost always see in this discussion: the more strict the rules that you give the LLM, the more likely it is to deeply disappoint you<p>The earlier in the process you use it (ie: scaffolding) the more mileage you will get out of it<p>It's about accepting fallability and working with it, rather than trying to polish it away with care</p>
