Tailwind, SASS, and PostCSS
I'm a beginner learning web dev, and I'm trying to understand the unique value that SASS and PostCSS bring to the table.
should I learn SASS and PostCSS with the same urgency as Tailwind (something I've perceived as more important to the webdev community)? or am I fine just learning tailwind and not worrying about the other two?

tailwind is more into "pure" css
sass is a preprocessor to create css
but sass does not solve the css issues
what specifically is preprocessing?
and do you need it
along with postcss
preprocessing means: take some code, process it, and give me a different version
per example
sass
css
the first code is processed into the second code
postcss is just a tool to process the css, like from sass into css
is not a sass specific tool, tailwind also is using postcss (for now)
I wouldn’t bother learning SASS/SCSS
It’s kinda falling out of fashion
Some of the most important bits have been added to regular css also
If you end up needing it on a job, if you already know css then you can pick up enough sass to be productive in an hour
