58: Cascade layers
In this episode Una and Adam cover Cascade Layers (aka @layer). It's a way for authors to control and orchestrate their own CSS layering which can help avoid specificity and asynchronous loading issues. Instead of styles taking the most recent style based on order of appearance, orchestrate layers and place styles inside them to control which overrides which.
