I feel honoured and blessed to read LinkedIn posts like “my husband and I celebrated 20 years of marriage… and, as usual, I can’t stop thinking about business.”

We went extremely fast from “no AI written code will be released without human review” to “humans review the really important updates”. The next step will arrive even faster.

I know! But the main point of the article stands - design system work is governance and maintenance, much more beyond the physical components, however endlessly reusable they are.

I wish people read articles before commenting based on their own projections of what they say, but I’m afraid world peace is a more attainable goal at this point.

I would say it’s not even the stakeholders, many DS practitioners are surprised when the work isn’t just building cool things.

Right. It’s a very easy way to explain how it’s used, but hides maintenance and support work, for example. Also Lego sounds more cool than “city sewage infrastructure”
