If your org is just never going to get on board the progressive enhancement train (which I am pro) is it still beneficial to follow patterns that are primarily multi-page based for PE reasons? E.g. start typing your address vs enter your postcode?

You’d be surprised how often “following GDS but we will require Js” comes up. So In a world where that benefit is lost, is what you’re left with still the best pattern in the scenario your are in?
*this is my feeling I just don’t want to flag this to others if there is something I’ve missed
Would it be fair to say you should not use shadow in an attempt to meet adequate contrast even if the rendered layered up colour does - purely because this would be knocked out in high contrast mode, making high contrast mode have lower contrast?
Example: Text shadow over image

I have tried a number of CSS tricks to to try and clean up a webfont rendering issue in Windows (looks fine on Mac and has no smoothing) - windows looks very bad, no clarity between the dot and stem of “i” for example. Any suggestions on things to try. Ironically smoothing would probably help in this situation
working on a design system can be one existential nightmare after another… for a bit of relief focus on some of the practical nightmares.

Formatting some tokens, I have no access to our codebase (don’t ask - the answer will take a year) so I can’to run style dictionary or anything.
Am I right in thinking I can skip a layer using empty “” for defaults?
“primary” : {
“1” : {
“” : “value”,
“dark_mode” : “value”
}
}
So here I end up with
primary_1 : value
primary_1_dark_mode : value
I forever feel like a problem / blocker because I am not willing to do things I feel are wrong… but is one step away from an ego trip?
Anyway f’ing hard innit!

I have had more crisis of confidence spirals working on Design Systems than anything else. I am currently at the bottom.
Does having too much subject matter knowledge stop you from achieving what your org needs of you right now?
