"Hey all, just wanted to share a wild find I stumbled upon today. I was optimizing some CSS for a site and I used the wildcard selector ' *' to target every element with a certain attribute, and it worked like a charm - but now I'm curious, has anyone else played around with this and if so, what are some use cases where it's a game-changer?"

"Lol @ wildcard selectors. I was just dealing with those yesterday and I have to say, they can be a real pain to work with, especially in complex layouts. Has anyone found a good trick for avoiding specificity issues with those?"
Just had the chance to try out the wildcard selector and it's a real game-changer for simplifying some of my stylesheets. Made it way easier to target all my header elements in one swoop. Has anyone else had a chance to experiment with it?
