On a barely-related note, I'm getting a little tired of job openings at startups that emphatically require Shadcn and Tailwind for dedicated frontend development. Shadcn and Tailwind are crutches for "fullstack" devs -- if I'm a really accomplished frontend developer, they make little sense for me to use and hamper what I can do for you. Just a peeve.

I don’t know about Shadcn, but how does Tailaind hampers your ability to do anything?

  • Some developers are CSS experts.

    • Can you show me some examples that are hard to implement in Tailwind? I've been using Tailwind for an app with a somewhat complex UI for the past ~2 years, and it works great most of the time. Sometimes it doesn't, but then I write some CSS. Tailwind doesn't stop me from doing so.
