+    You can do utility-first CSS with Sass, if you want.
+---
+
+Yesterday, I said that [I'm working on a Sass project with no utility or atomic styles][0].
+
+But, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
+
+You can do both.
+
+You can write your own utility classes, like `flex`, `font-bold` or `text-red` in Sass or plain CSS.
+
+You can use a framework like Tailwind CSS, but you don't need to.
+
+In some projects, with existing stylesheets and usually other frameworks, you can't add anothe full framework without having unintended consequences.
+
+Usually, if I want to introduce utility classes to an existing project, I start by writing my own that are inspired by a framework such as Tailwind CSS and maybe refactor to the framework later once the concept has been introduced and the codebase is able to work with it.
