Summary
Harry Roberts (@CSSWizardry) talks with us about scaling CSS in code and across large teams. We also discuss the CSS in the Web Platform standards, the history of CSS, refactoring code, as well as projects like Houdini which aims 'to jointly develop features that explain the "magic" of Styling and Layout on the web.'
