I hear this, I have been in plenty of meetings where I propose a solution that eclipses most of the project requirements, often for a product person to turn around and say something like “yeah but I like working with X techhnology”, for example Tailwind.

Okay you like Tailwind because you seem to think “p-2” is better than specifying “padding: 2rem;” because when it comes time to tinker with things you don’t want to understand CSS, you want to play with Tailwind.

Often, you are better off with a single standard environment rather than one with a hodgepodge of locally optimal solutions.

Hum... You want to say that tailwind is that standard, and some place can just avoid any css by using it?

		You want to say that there shouldn’t be standards because tailwind has limitations?

Depends on who "you" are. A project manager might be better off. An individual contributor is probably better off using the right tool for the job.

You can put tailwind on the CV
