That sounds too loud, what’s the actual meaning behind what they’re saying? To me, that looks like maybe they hired too many people assuming their business would only grow. That’s the delusion some Silicon Valley folks have, with the sort of VC culture. Perhaps they shouldn’t grow in employees (why are there employees in the first place?) and try to be sustainable instead. The whole project looks so flashy, but does it even need to grow? And, forgot to add: what is 75% of employees? Were they tens? Were they a hundred? (Sounds absurd to me, but who knows.) Edit: according to [this HN comment](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46530172), they fired 3 developers out of 4. On a personal note, I’m not a fan. I used it in a couple of projects, and wasn’t sold on the idea of never ever learning CSS and make your classes not semantic at all. However, I think there might be cases where this approach makes sense. I just haven’t found it so far.

[300 bucks for one "license"?](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b1b1ca0a-5268-4acd-a400-245181370d3d.png) I'm starting to understand the "get fucked" comment guy.

thank goodness tailwind is pretty useless with new css tech. I'll keep on stickin with css :) It just wasn't a good idea, and certainly not valuable imo

They say because of AI people stopped visiting their page and now they can't sell them other services. I've been using tailwind for some time and I have no idea what other services they offer besides some component library. There are so many free alternatives that I never even considered checking it out. I think their business model is that that great to begin with and AI doesn't have much to do with it.

A CSS framework that moves writing CSS into the html to make it stupidly long with annoyingly confusing class names. I might be biased though. I hate it.

It's effectively an alternative to plain CSS. Works well with component-based systems like React and Svelte. I used it for a few years and thought it was pretty good. I still use it on some of my projects.

If I recall correctly, it is a CSS framework.

I’d love to learn more, never really worked with them. Is Tailwind much of improvement with these frameworks?

css layers mostly now, and then variables, and calc. Soon we're getting custom functions too!

Sounds like Tailwind is facing some headwinds. I'll see myself out.
