YouTube has no "Love" reaction to a post. Great video! Thumbs up!!

This is not a life or death technology. I'm perfectly fine writing normal CSS and would only use SASS if an employer wanted me to learn. But I might tell them no if it would mess up my work flow. Seems unnecessary.

I've been coding for 7 years now (well add more years to that if you count college). And I'm still thinking CSS isn't meant to be a programming language

CSS is still way faster to code, since you can see the changes immediately live if you "Enable Local Overrides" in chrome developer tools.
Lets say you have to modify some containers in a very complex unknown project which uses "less". Then you first have to figure out in which of these modular less files the code is located, since you only see one css file if you inspect the code in the developer tools of the browser. This takes much time and research. And then you have to guess the right changes, recompile and then clear the cache and reload, and repeat this whole process all the time until you are done. No thanks

Thanks for explaining this. I had no clue why I needed to use this until I saw this video.

[mytube]

I asked myself that very question(s), and you answered. Thanks.

Having no real world examples doesn't convince me. Why should I spend time learning something that I'm not so sure I need. Sometimes it's easier to grab a shovel and dig a hole in a couple days as opposed to spending a month building a back hoe so I can dig the hole in one day.

Just reading the title I wholeheartedly disagree, but do go on. A dinosaur like me just needs a lot more convincing, probably.

Can't believe you actually recommended Elementor... 😅

[EduardoMunoz-lzwb]

Thanks for this! but...im still wondering... which one should i start with?

[JamieWFilms]

Really slick video, loved some of the editing and provided a decent overview which is what I was looking for. Super obnoxious for a 6:42 video to have nearly a minute of intro/plugging though. A real world example would have been nice as well.

[RafaKobylinski-rKonik]

Briefly, concisely and on the subject. More "Why you should use ..."

[westfield]

With css itself getting better do you think that in the future a preprocessor may not be needed?

[vitorgouveia]

but css also has variables, i can´t understand

[boomerangfish]

If these are the best reasons, then I can safely uninstall it.
CSS have variables. CSS got modules.
I also use Vue which got the option to namespace the CSS in each component.

Can i know the theme you're using for both the distribution and the text editor ?
Thank you.

[strangelpeaceful]

You only seem to the handle the issues with setting up the processor and that the reason to use preprocessors are mainly variables.

Css supports variables since ages and is more future proof than using an extra step which might require you to recompile your entire project. Preprocessors are a relic of the past due to the current state of css being able to handle all of these needs. Also about your for-loop; nobody makes websites without existing colour schemes so that isn't even an argument.

When you said "coding is haed' I heaed "coding is art" ...hmm...

[shariqhasankhan]

Another great video. I have a request if you don't mind. Would it be possible for you to do a video on integrating templating engines like Blade in WordPress theme development?

[shaonsina]

I think you are the best trainer in the youtube history
