brad_frost<p>It was fun to splat out lessons learned from over 11 years of doing design systems work, like: <br>⦿ Atomic design and its continued relevance<br>⦿ AI's impact on the future of design systems<br>⦿ Design system adoption and product relationship<br>⦿ Designer-developer collaboration<br>⦿ Global design system</p><p>Hope there's something useful in there for you!

brad_frost<p>We see a ton of "issues" that show up as "design system bugs" that aren't really issues or bugs at all. All users know is that the system isn't working for them.

Dan V Peterson<p>Interesting article on how the US gov design system came to be. </p><p>"Before the internet, Americans may have interacted with the federal government by stepping into grand buildings adorned with impressive stone columns and gleaming marble floors.
