What are the best practices for using nested selectors in SASS?

When using nested selectors in SASS, it's best to limit the depth of nesting to avoid overly complex CSS. Aim for a maximum of 3 levels deep.

Why should I limit the depth of nesting?

Limiting nesting helps maintain readability and prevents specificity issues, making your styles easier to manage and override.

Are there any specific scenarios where deep nesting is acceptable?

Deep nesting can be acceptable in component-based styles where the structure is tightly coupled, but it should still be used sparingly.

Can you give an example of good and bad nesting?

Sure! Good nesting:

.card {
  .header {
    color: blue;
  }
}

Bad nesting:

.card {
  .header {
    .title {
      font-size: 20px;
    }
  }
}
