Read some of the Getting Started documentation, for fun. First step:

> Installing with Vite

What the hell is Vite? Oh, it seems to be something you need to install via npm.

I cannot help but to ask - why do we require npm, or Vite, for something that looks like it should "help" with CSS?

Why is the webdev such a shitshow, that seems to get ever deeper into its own weird rabbit hole?

Looks like you are not really familiar with how Tailwind works. And if you don't understand it of course Vite or a build step will look weird. But I suggest first getting familiar with the thing you are discussing to avoid adding misguided comments to the discussion that really don't add any value.

Though you are of course correct, I see no problem with somebody reading about technologies that they themselves don't use here on HN. I personally read HN to get familiar with new technologies that I may find useful in my work and private life. I first heard of OpenAI and Anthropic here.
