Sass: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
Bottom line: don't blame the tool, don't abuse the tool, and know your audience.

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
Sass-‐Man
Sass doesn't create bad code
Bad coders do
That’s on us
That’s on them
What’s on us?
Drive a screw with a hammer
Feature abuse
Not knowing our audience
Sass is slow to compile
What’s on them?
Sass isn’t a programming language
Treat CSS as a machine language
@extend makes for ugly selectors
Duplicate media queries
Mixins produce bloated code
Always use arguments or @content
Nesting screws up specificity
Nesting brings context
Architecture is outside the {} — Ben Frain (http://roy.io/xxv)
Performance is inside the {} — Ben Frain (http://roy.io/xxv)
Don’t edit the damn CSS
