a year since we designed our design system, and it has been our friend through thick & thin — new massive features, intense deadlines, refactoring UI, etc. What is it about a good design system that will stand the test of time? . 🧵 a quick recap of why?. 🧵 our 10 must-haves.

it's annoying how everybody has a say in design decisions, and then you have to teach design principles & justify every small decision you took, address the biases, etc. etc. because there will always be that one edge case for one client where the design would break = FAIL #rant.

#2 product-based architecture. brad frost might work for some, but not for many, mainly when there isn't a systematic progression of complexity within components. your design system should be reflective of the patterns used in your product.
