A CSS technique uses cascade layers combined with media queries to create "named" breakpoints by manipulating layer priority. When viewport width changes, different layers gain priority, allowing developers to reference breakpoints by name (like "mobile", "tablet", "desktop") rather than pixel values. While it provides cleaner syntax, it has significant drawbacks: all styles must be within layers, unlayered styles always win due to cascade rules, and the approach conflicts with typical mobile-first methodologies. The technique is considered a hack with potential unintended consequences, though it demonstrates creative use of CSS cascade layers.
