In this episode, we're dealing with design systems – but from a slightly different angle. Instead of talking about how to set up, develop, and maintain a design system, we discuss it from a consumer's perspective. And by ”consumer” we mean a development team within an organization utilizing and contributing to a design system.
”A lot of people have this gut instinct of 'now I'm just gonna be doing boring stuff because I can't have the wild west of all possible CSS available to me anymore. I think I've done so many bad design decisions in the past that I can see the benefit of not having to customize everything from the beginning," says today's guest senior software developer Kimmo Tukiainen.
In the episode, Kimmo shares his experience working with design systems, style guides, and shared component libraries, and he explains why a utilizing a design system is more beneficial than not.
