There Is No “Wrong” in CSS

This article discusses the concept of 'wrong' CSS, arguing that aside from invalid code, CSS is rarely wrong if it works. It presents four reasons: if it works, it's fine; the developer bears the cost of bad choices; CSS is easy to change; and user barriers are a platform responsibility. The piece challenges common dogmas like avoiding !important or using resets, emphasizing that CSS is flexible and backwards-compatible. It encourages a pragmatic approach to web development and CSS best practices.
