| 36 | I prefer using [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) for my styling pleasures, and integrating that was also a painless experience. It was actually nice to see that some things got better with time. In about 2 minutes I got Tailwind working, and I was able to use classes at my disposal. All that `postcss` stuff was taken care of by adding a couple of things in config files (all described really well in their documentation). | 36 | I prefer using [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) for my styling pleasures, and integrating that was also a painless experience.

| 38 | It is not that different from Vue. People will probably call me a lunatic for saying this. But you know, it is the truth. Same same, but different. I still believe that using libraries like this is beneficial. I am not a JavaScript purist. They all have their quirks, but at the end of the day, I truly believe it’s worth it. | ||

| 46 | The first one that I ever used was [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), and it was an absolute horrific experience. Saying this, it is an absolutely fantastic tool. I felt more like a config editor than actually a programmer. To be fair, I am a huge fan of [make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/), and you can do as you wish with this information. I like my build systems simple. | 48 | The first one that I ever used was [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), and it was an absolute horrific experience.

| 87 | And as far as I am concerned, the most important thing was me not coding the functionalities for the game I want to make. I was battling libraries and cloud providers. How to deploy, what settings are relevant. Bad documentation or multiple versions of achieving the same thing. You are getting bombarded by all this information, and you don’t really have any control over it. Production-ready code becomes a joke, essentially. Specially if you tend to work on that project for a prolonged period of time. | 89 | And as far as I am concerned, the most important thing was me not coding the functionalities for the game I want to make.

| 91 | All of these options end up creating a fatigue. What to choose, what not to choose. Unnecessary worrying about if the stack will still be deemed worthy in six months. There is elegance in simplicity. | ||

| 89 | And this jab at these libraries and cloud providers is not done out of malice. It is a real concern that I have about them. In my life, I have seen technologies come and go, but the basics always stick around. So surrendering all the power you have to a library or a cloud provider is in my opinion a stupid move. | 95 | And this jab at these libraries and cloud providers is not done out of malice.
