+Scott and Wes break down what makes CSS truly manageable—from preventing style leaks and embracing fluid layouts to choosing the right methodology, whether that's utility CSS, component-scoped styles, or CSS modules. They also dive into practical tips like leveraging CSS variables, layers, scoping, and tooling to keep your stylesheets clean and scalable.
