🎓 I have a FREE course on creating responsive layouts: https://courses.kevinpowell.co/conquering-responsive-layouts

For whatever reason, I’ve been seeing a lot of people running into issues because they’re declaring way too many things on their universal selector these days, so in this video I take a quick look at the type of issues that it can get you into, and when you might actually want to use it as well.

⌚ Timestamps
00:00 - Introduction
00:46 - Extreme example with background-color
02:40 - Declaring color
03:45 - Take advantage of inheritance instead
04:14 - When we do want to use the universal selector
06:45 - Only declare things when you need them
