Didn't see today's DHH rant about talk therapy?

Where he encouraged people to lean into intentionality and finding purpose rather than using therapy as a replacement? I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder and I’ve benefited GREATLY from talk therapy in numerous ways. I’m an advocate for therapy. I simultaneously stand behind his post as a healthy nudge for many.

I don't think people in CS should be giving broad overly simplistic mental health advice. Let's leave that to the pros. I'm grateful of DHH's contributions to society but his hot takes are marketing ploys. Mental health should not be leveraged as a marketing ploy.

Fwiw, I struggled with anxiety and depression for nearly 20 years. Commitment to therapy and my modalities brought me out of that. My _therapist_ guided me, including finding purpose and building meaningful relationships.

Lovely. Verbosity aside, now on top of knowing CSS you need to learn another hierarchical system within class names.

In real projects I typically group the classes in a way that makes it easier to read, something like this: ... I currently do this manually but it would be nice to have some tooling to automate that kind of format.

This takes away so many of the criticisms I see in this thread. The issue with Tailwind, and my only minor criticism, is just long, unreadable, not easy to deliminate lists of classes. This very easily takes care of that (and I use it for more complex class lists daily)
