Most of my comments are serious.

But asking me to take Tailwind seriously as a CSS framework is like asking me to take Flat Earth Society seriously in a science forum. Everything has a threshold where you cross from the plausible to the absurd. To me there's a non-zero chance Tailwind is (or at least started as) a parody of bad software design.

We just had a submission the other day that "the JavaScript ecosystem has a talent problem". It's a real problem.

CSS's very goal is to separate styles into reusable, readable rules, and here comes Tailwind, inlining them into an endless combination of increasingly obscure and indecipherable abbreviations. Are you not entertained? It seems deliberate.
