It's not hard to use tailwind without knowing css. Google answers your question 90% of the time. The other 10% you read about the appropriate css and then translate that to tailwind.

This was inspired by a hn comment that linked to "you suck at excel" [0]. First, I realized how much I suck at excel despite being in love with it. Excel just has so many features and the basics are good enough to solve most excel

I agree that as a community diversifies beyond a single group a referendum will give a more generic answer. It works well so long as you are like the group. I think subreddits are a good way of focusing on a topic.
