I think one concept that's slowly coming into focus for me is just how many engineers want you to experience _their_ experience and spend your time reveling at how clever _their_ stuff is. As if they think you wake up and want to do CSS work. CSS is not the goal. The website I'm building isn't even the goal. The goal is to solve some problem.
Everything that I have to do to solve that problem is an unfortunate (but inevitable) reality. But let's be clear: the goal is to minimize as close to zero, how much time you have to spend doing these things.
CSS, like all code, is a total liability. I want to spend as little time designing and writing it as possible. Which is why I hate CSS: it demands you know the exact current and future (hahahaha) structure of your webpage. `!important` is not some panacea, but I cackle at the ignorance of suggesting that the user is wrong for misusing it.
CSS's !important was added because of laws about font size for some text

At one level, the ethic of efficacy is the ethic that governs the use of news as currency. But if we sort of put that aside for a minute, it is an ethic that I think emerges in an era where the classic business models of the news industry no longer apply.
