The Future of CSS

Utility first css is future and it’s cool

Why do you think it is css future? It is the same as original one isn’t it?

I see pretty much every bootcamp teaching CSS and bootstrap so it is definitely the future because students arent really going to look into other ways of doing something when we already know how to get the job done.

One of the great advantages of CSS was the way styles “cascaded” from a parent to affect all of its children.

Cascade has nothing to do with parent-children style inheritance. This is kinda of a big error if you’re trying to discuss CSS.

Humanity, in an anxiety relieving exercise that induces more anxiety than relieving any, has long attempted and always hideously failed to predict the future because humans cannot possibly even deduce all the variables at play and thus some variable confounds all predictions. AI would change this, as what we lack the senses and dept of experience to see will be reflected in the mean aggregate of our perceptions, not overcome by such an average.
Nonetheless, what the future of CSS does likely hold is that it will continue to exist and having the skill of writing it out yourself and working to improve this skill through constant practice here and there is going to remain a wise way to handle it in whatever direction the on-wards march of the clock pulls it.
