Enduring CSS: architecting and maintaining large-scale CSS codebases.

You've heard about all the lauded methods of scaling CSS: OOCSS, SMACSS, BEM and many more but maybe none of the popular or conventional approaches solve the problems you have.

I'm going to talk to you about the unique challenges I faced scaling CSS across multiple teams and developers and why I ended up defining my own approach: ECSS.

Everyone thinks they know the 'right way' to author CSS. I'm here to tell you there is no singular right way: there are merely requirements, options and results.
