Skillshare course: Introduction to Tailwind CSS

- https://www.shillshare.com

I was studying a Skillshare course called: 'Introduction to Tailwind CSS'
This course was created by author: Chris Dixon.

My steadily evolving Skillshare project can be found here:

- pr-tailwindcss.netlify.app

Initially, the project I was working on producing went ok...that is, when I was using the CDN/Content Delivery Network link:

-  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindcss/browser@4"></script>

NodeJS broken...?!

The next part of the course, however...involved setting up 'tailwindcss' to work using: 

- CLI/Command Line Interface
- NodeJS

And, try as I might...I could NOT get this part up and working...?!
- I searched for, at least, 2 different internet articles to help me fix it...;
and, quickly discovered that neither of those 'detailed' step by step instructions worked.
- As a matter of fact, eventually, I had to 'stop' working on this project altogether;
when I tried re-installing NodeJS on my computer system...because the error message said that NodeJS was 'broken'...?!
After trying to fix this multiple times with no success...just encountering, repeatedly, failure after endless failure; I just decided to 'give up'...!

To be honest, I really and truly thought I would need to 're-install my entire Linux Mint OS/Operating System' going from total scratch. Why? Because, to a programmer, having NodeJS up and working...is extremely important. It is used to download many other programs...when it comes to building out projects. So, if NodeJS doesn't work...you can't download/or, build any further programming projects.

Microsoft VSC/Visual Studio Code...built in AI/Artificial Intelligence

At this point, I noticed that Visual Studio Code seems to have AI built in.
That's when I had the idea why not make use of AI to fix the problem.

-(NOTE: I'd never actually used AI inside of VSC before;
so, for me, this was the very first time.)-

What I had to do was...
- 'Select/Copy and paste' into VSC AI the error messages I was getting.
- Then, follow out whatever steps the AI said was necessary to fix the problem
- This problem was NOT easy to fix...as I remember being there for quite a while...
whether it was half-and-hour or more.
...but, eventually, Eureka! the problem did get fixed; 
and, next thing I know, NodeJS is fully up and working, again.

Apparently, what happened is...
whenever one tries to mix certain specific technologies with one another...; 
then, they don't always tend to play nice together;
in fact, there are known 'bugs'...(unknown to the beginner, of course); 
and, for that reason one finds that absolutely nothing works...?! 

Thus, one has to find what is the 'correct' combination of these different technologies that can be used...which will, also, work together well.
