I interviewed Thierry Koblentz<\/a>, creator of Atomic CSS<\/a>, to understand the history and background that led to making of the popular CSS framework. Thierry, now retired, has vast experience writing CSS at large scale and has previously worked as a front-end engineer at Yahoo!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thierry is widely credited with bringing the concept of Atomic CSS to the mainstream, thanks to his now classic 2013 article on Smashing Magazine, \u201cChallenging CSS Best Practices.\u201d<\/a> That article paved the way for many popular CSS libraries over the years. In this interview, Thierry returns to chronicle the history of Atomic CSS and reflect on its ongoing legacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
