I've been a freelance designer / developer for about two years. I'm working on more complex projects now, and I feel like I'm writing too much CSS.
Learning LESS helped a lot, so I'm looking for any resources that help me improve my speed and make my code more concise.
Thanks!

I recommend Leveluptuts Stylus course at https://leveluptutorials.com/tutorials/stylus-tutorials

For speed, I recommend using the chrome extension, Auto Text Expander to assign predefined templates of code to any keyboard shortcut. Presuming you code in the browser with c9.io or codepen.io, this can be handy https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/auto-text-expander-for-go/iibninhmiggehlcdolcilmhacighjamp?hl=en
