Head of Engineering, Carbon Design System at IBM. Thoughts and ideas are my own.
Web components worked well for what we were doing 5 years ago. Back then, we had millions of pages on IBM.com while we migrated from an old design system to Carbon. The masthead as a web component helped bring in the masthead globally with gradual migration of pages still on the old design system.

I'd like an invite, our team is hiring and would be happy to share there too.

Maybe they open sourced VS Code just so they don't have to pay for GitHub Action runners. Oh wait...

Thank you for the shout out!

One thing we are super fortunate about is that even Arvind knows about Carbon Design System and the value it brings to IBM. But it took awhile for us to get here!

Great playback, and excited to hear about your journey with web components! At IBM, we are having our own journey where we as a team are consolidating to just supporting React and Web Components. The other framework flavors are still around, but are supported by the community.

Love your blog posts! The first one I read is about design system ecosystems where you mentioned Carbon!

Super excited for this one! For our particular use case at IBM, having versioned scoped elements would be useful to us! We're also starting to see local design systems based on web components so then having their own scope would be incredibly useful.

Hi, thank you for putting this starter pack together! I'm on the Carbon Design System from IBM 😁
