    I am writing some custom button CSS in this file:
    - wp-content/themes/genesis-sample/style.css

    My custom button rules are getting overwritten by these files:
    - wp-content/themes/genesis-sample/lib/gutenberg/front-end.css
    - wp-includes/css/classic-themes.min.css
    - wp-includes/css/dist/block-library/style.css

    What is the recommended (least hacky, most sustainable) way to get around this?

    Use the !important keyword in your CSS.
