"Build consistently. It's the number one UX improvement every developer can make. A design system only works when everyone builds the same page in the same way. When that happens, the benefits are obvious: Developers can work on each other's pages without becoming bottlenecks. The CSS team deals with fewer one-off HTML scenarios. Predictable HTML makes theme swapping and real-time white labelling possible. Yes, it might feel slower at first, but consistency will save you far more headaches later."
"Why is there not a building block for this? Our design system treats developers as engineers. We provide the Lego blocks and show you examples of how to use them. Building and maintaining every possible block is not realistic. Blocks also do not cover complex screens with multiple dataviews or listviews. There are too many building blocks. Whenever we add more, developers complain there are too many and end up using only one anyway."
Low-code and vibe coding accelerate app creation but exacerbate recurring UX mistakes as teams scale from single apps to enterprise landscapes. Consistent implementation of a design system enables developers to work on each other's pages, reduces one-off CSS scenarios, and makes predictable HTML useful for theme swapping and white‑labelling. Common excuses include habit, missing building blocks, too many blocks, difficulty finding examples, and deadlines. The design system approach provides reusable Lego blocks and examples, acknowledges impracticality of covering every case, and emphasizes that consistency is not optional. Users also rely on predictable interaction patterns to understand and navigate apps.
