A whirlwind tour through the history of CSS, where it's landed today, and the myriad of goodies we can expect in the very near future. And do we still need pre/post-processors in this day and age, or can we just, like, y'know, write vanilla CSS?! Also, shockingly, Roy Kent makes an appearance on the show with an epic rant about Tailwind CSS. You're not gonna want to miss this!
