QUOTES:
[08:06] “If you have a well-designed solution for a problem that nobody cares about, people are just going to look at it and say “Okay, this looks nice but I’m not going to use it”.”
[14:25] “I don’t think you should invest in building your design system or building a design system in general. I think you should try to focus on the build speed in other ways. Do not complicate things by trying to make sure that everything is standardised.”
