The ease of learning and applying CSS is mitigated by the language’s lack of logic. Unlike programming languages that have reusable components like variables and functions, CSS almost encourages flagrant reuse of selectors and property-value pairs. Indeed, even when redundant and bloated, CSS is perfectly functional.
DRY CSS is based on taking the “don’t repeat yourself” principle of software development very literally. That’s right: when coding CSS, the goal is never to repeat a property-value pair. Ever. I know it seems rather…ah, intense, but it can be done.
