Reduce specificity

If you are targeting an element, do it in as few selectors as possible.

From:

.content ul li a {
  padding: 5px;
  color: #eee
}

To

.content a {
  padding: 5px;
  color: #eee;
}

Why?

• Very specific selectors are slow as they have to parse the DOM more granularly.

• specific selectors are harder to override and decrease modularity.
