‪“‬In what way is JS any more maintainable than CSS? How does writing CSS in JS make it any more maintainable?”

‪Happy to chat about this. There’s an obvious disclaimer that there’s a cost to css-in-js solutions, but that cost is paid specifically for the benefits it brings; as such it’s useful for some usecases, and not meant as a replacement for all workflows. ‬

‪(These conversations always get heated on twitter, so please believe that I’m here to converse, not to convince. In return, I promise to listen to you too and change my opinions; I’ve had mad respect for you for years and would consider your feedback a gift. Also, some of the stuff I’m writing might seem obvious to you; I’m not trying to tell you if all people of some of the details, but it might be useful to someone else who bumps into this who doesn’t have context)‬

So the big deal about css-in-js (cij) is selectors.

Introduction

EigenLayer introduces the possibility of re-using ethereum consensus, and IMO the most interesting usecase for that would be building a decentralized two-way and security-optimal bridge between Bitcoin and Ethereum.

All bridges rely on the security of the two chains they connect and the security of the custodian^[1] used for bridging, since if the security of any of those 3 were to fail, it would be possible to drain the bridge (eg: if its possible to double-spend on any of the two chains an attacker can redeem the same coin multiple times).

However, if a significant amount of the total ETH staked were to be restaked securing this bridge, the custodian would be piggybacking on ethereum security, so those two become the same and thus you'd remove the custodian from your list of dependencies and you're left with only having to depend on the security of the two chains, which is the theoretical ceiling of security. In other words, you'd achieve the best possible security.

But not just that, you
