I mean the use of tailwind in the article is not good. Shows a lack of CSS understanding. Why are they applying `text-base` instead of just setting that on the root element? Why are they setting text color on the <a> tag and then overriding it on the <span> inside?

This person would write bad CSS, let's not put the blame on tailwind.

Also so much repetition instead of pulling each breadcrumb link out into a shared component. I understand it's just demo code for an article, but if all code bases end up like this that you've seen, the issue isn't tailwind.
