Refactoring CSS

In recent years, updates in CSS have given us many exciting possibilities for creating modern, dynamic web experiences. Yet, for many developers, the day-to-day reality often involves working within the constraints of legacy codebases.

In her talk, Ana will explore practical strategies for navigating the challenges of maintaining and modernising legacy CSS. Is refactoring an option? What are the pros and cons of this? How do we approach stakeholders? How do we prioritise and initiate changes, measure improvements and quick wins?

With her many years of finding the balance here, Ana will share lessons from past experiences and look forward to what's ahead.
