Why should we limit nesting in Sass?

Why should we limit nesting in Sass?

Limiting nesting in Sass helps maintain readability and prevents overly complex styles that are hard to manage.

What are the risks of deep nesting?

Deep nesting can lead to specificity issues, making it difficult to override styles and increasing the CSS file size.

How many levels of nesting are considered acceptable?

Generally, it's recommended to limit nesting to 3 levels to keep your styles manageable and maintainable.

Can you give an example of good vs bad nesting?

Sure! Good nesting is concise and clear, like:

.nav {
  ul {
    li {
      a {
        color: blue;
      }
    }
  }
}

Bad nesting would be:

.nav {
  ul {
    li {
      div {
        span {
          a {
            color: blue;
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The second example is too complex!
