Shownotes Transcript

So I'm a frontend developer in 2021, over 10 years of experience building websites - since I don't know 2005, 2006, 2007, and I still use bootstrap and people ask me sometimes, you know, why I still use bootstrap. Why don't I use something more like Tailwind or have I heard of Tailwind or have I heard of Bulma, and I get a laugh out of that every time I hear it. I don't use it, but I like it, but I have a really interesting reason for why I think I don't use Tailwind. Let me tell you a story: I basically came up with tailwind in 2014, the exact same syntax, exact same kind of completion process. I called it declarative CSS. You can find it on my GitHub. I used it for a dozen or so projects.
