SCSS nesting (programming.dev)

2 comments fedilink hide all child comments

This file is over 20k lines long, and 400kB
It is nested over 10 levels deep in many places
There is no naming consistency. The original file used BEM, but now it switches randomly between whatever the devs felt like at the time. There are random contractions all over the place (eg, a parent container might have the class payment-items, but the children are p-item)
There is no style consistency. It switches randomly between kebab case, camel case, snake case, a mix of kebab and snake case (!!) or no case at all (just one long word with no separators). A parent element might use one case, but then the child element will use a different case for the exact same term

I guess it started well but then the other people who added to it just went, "fuck that shit" and did whatever they want 😂
