In this episode we talk to Dominik Wilkowski of Thinkmill about design systems from a modern tooling point of view. We talk about how the real goal is to bridge the gap between design and development, and what role tooling can have in making this easier.
We also go on to talk in broader terms about how using a design token system as an abstraction layer can give you the benefits of utility first CSS, but without some of the baggage.
And finally, we learn that we test in production, and so do you.
