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.

Dave 🧱 :cursor_pointer:<p>I realise this poll was somewhat controversial, I should've turned on the option to select both (cool that Mastodon does that!).
