A bit frustrated with my team and CSS (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I was recently tasked with rewriting the base CSS for an inventory/project management system, creating a set of reusable components designed to match, using an open/close approach. These were based on a pretty strict specification provided by one of our designers, who unfortunately left.

The implementation went well, but I've run into a bit of a problem. Quite often the team members make changes directly to the base class in the new base CSS file, rather than extending it, creating a new one, or using each system area's dedicated stylesheet file.

One of the more recent changes involved removing a grid-gap property from a rule from the base CSS, affecting a lot more than the single UI element the team member was working on.

Should I approach the team about this?

I haven't mentioned anything yet, but have noticed our QA team putting in more bugs about UI elements looking odd

This sounds like a job for a team wide code review process.

If you don't say anything, it won't get better. Up to you whether that's worth the hassle, based on your team and your situation, of course
