The day I stopped using 100+ line CSS files for everything
I had this project for a local bakery's site in Austin where I kept writing the same margin and padding rules over and over, thinking I was being organized. It wasn't until I saw a friend's code with utility classes like 'mt-4' and 'px-2' that I realized I was basically hand-cranking every single spacing value for no reason. Has anyone else wasted hours on repetitive CSS before switching to something like Tailwind or just utility-first thinking?

Had a buddy who spent three whole days "organizing" his CSS into separate files for a tiny portfolio site. Then he found out about utility classes and pretty much facepalmed himself into next week.

Dunno @verafoster, three days of overthinking CSS sounds kinda extra but people learn different ways.
