I still find it hard to use libraries like tailwind and such, I prefer a more fully BEM approach where elements are important based on their location in their parents or by what specific selector they are. Using selector names like `grid-12` or whatever feels way way too much like putting the presentation data in the html directly instead of just properly linking it…
