Let There Be Peace On CSS
summary
Community debate centers on the claim that CSS has inherent problems that prevent scaling, and the counterclaim that applying styles via JavaScript breaks the separation of concerns. The talk catalogs reactions to the original deck (seen over 900,000 views), surveys tools like styled-components, CSS Modules and Tachyons, and shows concrete tradeoffs: isolation and scoping solved vs. losing authoring ergonomics and cascading. It ends by urging pragmatism, context-aware separation, and a truce.
