Impact

  • More predictable UI - Controls in the same place, with features using the same icon metaphor.

  • Met our executive announcement deadline - Our shipped product matched the marketing on socials and announcements on stage.

  • My vibe-coded prototypes accelerated implementation - Handing engineers a tested prototype that was built using components in our repo.

Takeaways

  • Design systems should be guardrails, not handcuffs.

  • Get audience agreement before the share out.

  • Give your partners what they need before they ask.
