'What worked on a lovely little site, and resulted in very pretty code, just won't cut it on a massive one'

"Our CSS best practices are killing us," performance geek Nicole Sullivan declared famously. "Code smells in CSS", vented designer/ developer Harry Roberts. And they're right. There's a lot of talk about scalable CSS lately. It's time to change our practices, many of which were developed around a decade ago. As our projects get bigger and bigger, we need to adapt. It's not just a concern for big operations like Facebook and GitHub. What worked beautifully on a lovely little site, and resulted in arguably very pretty code, just won't cut it on a massive one. Build with scalability in mind. You never know how much a site is going to grow and who will have to work with your code, do you? End bloat, improve maintainability.
