Nicole Sullivan interviewed at Velocity 2010
summary
Claims that CSS bloat comes from wrong granularity and styles that are location-dependent, with concrete examples of objects exploding when moved; recommends a single owner to watch commits to prevent duplication across teams; measures site speed impact as CSS supplying a large share of kilobytes and HTTP requests including images and backgrounds; argues micro-level fixes are done but the field needs native architectural abstractions in CSS rather than relying on preprocessors.
