Simple solutions
We've all been there, pouring over CSS code for hours, only to realize that the styles we've written aren't being applied. Panic sets in, we start questioning our abilities, and before we know it, we're knee-deep in a sea of Stack Overflow threads and GitHub issues.
But what happens when the solution is actually simpler than we think? That's exactly what happened to me the other day.
I had been working on a React project for a while and had gotten used to not having to watch Sass files anymore. However, I decided to revisit an old project I had created with vanilla JavaScript, and when I tried to apply some new styles, nothing was working. I started to worry and went down a rabbit hole of troubleshooting.
It wasn't until I realized that I hadn't been watching Sass that everything clicked into place. I felt a little silly for not realizing it sooner, but it was a reminder that sometimes the simplest solution is the best one. No need to overcomplicate things, just take a step back and re-evaluate.
