A little rant about breaking changes
|
As you may already know, Tailwind upgraded to version 4 recently. While doing so, they have decided to revamp the Tailwind toolchain. This change was incredibly frustrating for me since I’ve had to make a lot of changes to patch the breaking changes they introduced. So I ranted a bit in today’s article. A little rant about breaking changes. You can read more about my thoughts in the article above, but I just wanna say that most breaking changes don’t warrant enough UX or DX improvements to make them worth it. Now, after playing with Tailwind 4 (and making those incredibly tough and heartbreaking changes), I think the changes I'm forced to go through are worth it — Splendid Labz is now at a much better place than where I found it previously. I hope to write more about these changes and help you ease into the new version as much as I can. Hope you enjoy the article. |
Hi! My name is Zell and here are the things I’ve made

This week I’d like to take a break from talking about code and Splendid Labz — and instead focus on some tooling and ergonomics. If you’ve been hanging out with me for some time, you would have known that I have a Moonlander keyboard. I’m pretty happy with it because it mitigated my carpal tunnel problems for a long long time. (Here’s why it works). Preventing/reducing carpal tunnel problems is important for us developers because, well, we use our hands to work. If we get carpal tunnel, how...
Hey , This is probably one of the most ironic messages I’m gonna send because I’ve just ranted about breaking changes last week. But I gotta tell you about these breaking changes in advance so you can ease into the new library as much as possible — although it’ll probably take some time before I get the documentations out. (Life is tough, but I’m working on all the various fronts I can as we speak). There are two major breaking changes coming with the upcoming version of Splendid Labz....
