First, Do No Harm
The web is fundamentally different from other platforms, built around a radically political vision for resilience and user-control. CSS takes that to another level, attempting the almost absurd task of collaborative styling across devices and interfaces and languages.
This is a dive into the origins of the web, and CSS in particular – the design constraints, the range of strange proposals, and how we got where we are. By the end, we see the CSS is Awesome meme in a whole new light.
A workshop on resilient & maintainable CSS

subgrid, nesting, and so much more.
It’s a good time to step back and understand
how these tools fit together in a declarative system –
a resilient cascade of styles.
