Always impressed by how insanely overcomplicated people can make CSS.


What scale of frontend apps do you work with? Specifically, how many developers are simultaneously writing features and merging code in a given week?


I'm assuming your question is loaded in an attempt to say "You haven't worked on any large teams then"

But I have, in a fairy large project (completely rebuilding all of Deere & Co's internal systems, upgrading from literal terminals to web app) with >100 developers merging in hundreds of PR's a week.

We've never needed something like this.


Do you work on deere.com? I haven't seen a conditional comment in a while!

I think that site could benefit from something like this. The CSS on that site is, um, not optimized.


No, I worked on internal facing stuff that was only accessible by dealers


Sounds like simple crud apps that barely need styling and can use existing component libraries.


Ah yes, a 5 year, hundreds of engineers, multi-million dollar project to take 1980's terminal computer ordering system for millions of Deere dealerships and bring it to the modern ages through a web app is just a simple crud app that barely needs styling.

Do you ever just re-read your replies and think "I'm being ridiculous" and decide NOT to post it? You should do that more often.


Any examples specific to this post?
