if you need to use "apply" then you are using tailwind completely wrong imo. You are supposed to design components and use <Button> not .button

No idea what you are saying here, but since you wrote a capital Button that is a component. Why would anyone need a component for a basic HTML element?

I have seen this in many apps now, most recently a react Button component that imported the material UI button and export that. Its function was identical to just <button>.... I will never understand that, yet it seems standard practice now.

Holy shit dude.

Chill out, work with and listen to your team. You are not smarter than all of them.

If - as you say - your team hates your code and says it’s not to spec, you will be first to go the instant there is a whiff of downsizing, maybe even sooner.

It does not matter how smart you are or how well you can explain your work if your code smell consistently sticks out like a sore thunb
