Here’s a question I get a lot:
> “Now that AI can generate front-end UIs for us, what’s the point of learning CSS ourselves?”
I think there are lots of reasons, including that you can use AI much more effectively if you understand CSS yourself.
But is that actually true? Let’s discuss. 🧵

Got a phone call that I was late for a cold plunge appointment during a livestream with @briancasel.com.
I just... left. Ran off screen with no explanation and left the livestream running for over an hour. 🤣
Sorry everybody! (Sorry Brian!)
