Have we outgrown design systems? I can't wait to find out...
\\The Broken Promises of Design Systems: Why Following the Rules Won’t Get You to Great Products
(Itai Vonshak via UX Magazine)

In this candid reflection from a former Material Design lead at Google, we explore how rigid rules, endless maintenance, and poor adoption have turned design systems into creativity killers. As AI reshapes the design landscape, it’s time to ask: are design systems holding us back from what’s next?
