Working on a design system team is exactly like the TVA (Time Variance Authority) from Disney’s Loki show. A little bit of chaos is okay, but once your "chaos meter" gets too high, the culprit needs to be “pruned.” (What is a chaos meter, anyway?)
In Design Systems, this chaos is called drift. It happens in many ways, and we’re here to meet its challenges in order to allow our engineers to focus on problems other than style, which is a universe in itself.
I’ll take the audience through an entertaining rendering of:
- Why! We! Are! Like! This! - it all makes sense in the end
- Paradigms: why we have to create them - and how we should
- The consequences of chaos, and how to set up your chaos meter to easily find your variant Lokis
- The one thing you can use to agnostically set benchmarks for defining chaos
- Managing chaos across platforms, and carefully pruning the variants
