Comment (by Ipstenu):

 Why not both?

 Title: Caution: You can break stuff here.

 Body: You appear to be making direct edits to your [theme|plugin]. Editing
 this code directly is dangerous as it can leave you unable to log back in
 to WordPress and undo changes. [We strongly recommend using a child theme
 for any edits to your theme.|You can edit CSS in WordPress's built in CSS
 editor.|Editing plugin code directly is highly discouraged.] Please
 proceed with caution and make sure to back up your site before making any
 changes.

 We'd want to detect if they're already on a child theme, of course.
