# Tailwind CSS Tips and Tricks
Tailwind CSS has changed how we write styles. Here are some advanced tips to take your Tailwind skills to the next level.
## Use @apply Sparingly
While `@apply` is useful for extracting repeated patterns, overusing it defeats the purpose of utility-first CSS. Keep most styles in your JSX.
## Leverage JIT Mode
The Just-In-Time compiler generates styles on-demand, giving you:
- Faster build times
- Smaller file sizes
- All variants enabled by default
## Custom Utilities
Extend Tailwind with custom utilities in your `tailwind.config.js`:
```javascript
module.exports = {
theme: {
extend: {
spacing: {
'128': '32rem',
}
}
}
}
```
## Conclusion
These tips will help you use Tailwind CSS more effectively and build better UIs faster.
