Building performance budgets

Design systems aren't documentation. They're a shared language, and like any language, they only work if everyone speaks it.

What Actually Matters

Monorepos aren't for everyone, but if you're shipping a design system alongside multiple products, the tooling overhead pays off quickly in DX consistency.

The best handoff is no handoff. When designers and engineers share tools, language, and source of truth, the gap between intention and implementation narrows to near zero.

Lighthouse scores matter, but they're a proxy. Real performance work means profiling on mid-tier Android hardware on a throttled connection — not a MacBook on broadband.

The web is the most accessible publishing medium ever created. How we build it determines whether that remains true.
