So, so true. The gap between design tools and the possibilities of the CSS based web platform is
getting bigger year by year. @ishadeed.com at #cssday. (Reminds me of @matthiasott.com‘s talk last year cssday.nl/2024/#matthias)

Grid for Auto Layout is horribly limited in scope and very awkward to use | Figma Forum

Meetings & Space
Seventeen bits of advice from Ariel Salminen on Leading Successful Product Teams. I really like all of them. Allow me to pluck off a few about meetings: Avoid meetings as much as possible. Instead of having them, communicate asynchronous to each other via tools such as Linear, GitHub, Figma, Slack, and similar. Provide at least three days of focus time per week for designers and developers in the team.

This past few months has reinforced two things about #DesignSystems:
1. Documentation is a work multiplier, time spent re-explaining probably should have been spent documenting. Don't do it too early, but don't wait too long.
2. Spreadsheets are still the best design system tool.
