Comment on Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team

That sounds too loud, what’s the actual meaning behind what they’re saying? To me, that looks like maybe they hired too many people assuming their business would only grow. That’s the delusion some Silicon Valley folks have, with the sort of VC culture. Perhaps they shouldn’t grow in employees (why are there employees in the first place?) and try to be sustainable instead. The whole project looks so flashy, but does it even need to grow?
On a personal note, I’m not a fan. I used it in a couple of projects, and wasn’t sold on the idea of never ever learning CSS and make your classes not semantic at all. However, I think there might be cases where this approach makes sense. I just haven’t found it so far.

It makes if you use any sort of front-end library like React, Vue, Svelte, etc. The components are your semantic boundaries and the tailwind classes don’t need to be descriptive beyond what they actually do.

I’d love to learn more, never really worked with them. Is Tailwind much of improvement with these frameworks?
