I think everyone using tailwind probably 'knows css', they've used it, they can test stuff in chrome via inspect, and they know the basics. Most do not know flexbox inside and out, or every different ways to make grids, etc.

Personally, I usually just look through component sites for something like I want, then modify it to my needs. 95% that works, sometimes I go build it out myself.

I'm fullstack, but more backend and that's where I'm most comfortable so the less I worry about design the better it is for my sanity, except I do like dabbling w/ the js layer in vue, alpine, or react.
