I’m not just getting back into design systems, I’m looking to (re)build one that dethrones Shopify’s Polaris as the industry gold standard. I have the expertise but open source won’t cut it, I need a team that actually has the means at an org that values solid design/eng enough to make it happen.
I should invent a serialization format called Grotesquely Overengineered Object Notation just so I can say my APIs GOON hard

JSDOM is great but I’m surprised no one’s built a browser DOM implementation in TypeScript that uses the actual interfaces from lib.dom.d.ts. Guess what I’ve been building 😏

I've been building my own JSX pipeline. It's still a baby pipeline but it compiles JSX → Web Components and supports server components.
One of the most fun challenges I've taken on outside of MFEs. Also, not having any framework runtimes or prod dependencies just feels great!

This #WebGL game where you deliver messages on a tiny planet is amazing. Smooth animation. Peaceful vibes (and i didn't even play, I wondered around).

If we have watermelon, shouldn’t firemelon, earthmelon, and airmelon exist?

Yes, sometimes it takes me five days to text back. But my messages are not late, they arrive precisely when they mean to.

Any idiot can build software. It takes a REAL engineer to scale out an ansericulture platform to 64 g/day (p95) & ≤+0.1 FCR drift across 12-week growouts on a rotational pasture fabric w/federated bioclustering, supplemental 4R nutrient stewardship, microclimate integration, and transgenic stacking.

Design Systems treat tokens as subatomic design particles, ignoring human perception. Since we preach user experience, you'd expect them to mirror how our minds work.
Here's how to build one that does.

Nothing annoys me more than people bragging about their token usage. I cant think of a more useless metric that means absolutely nothing yet people flex it like its a measure of how hard they work, when in fact its the exact opposite
