14: Discussing the Tailwind CSS drama with CCSer Amit Sheen
Amit Sheen joins us to discuss the recent "Tailwind fiasco" on tech Twitter, which reignited the same arguments from two years ago. Sheen argues that while Tailwind is a great tool, it has its limits and should be used in the right context.
