1 年With regard to design patterns (i.e. pattern libraries) - I've been an advocate of them. I think there are generic patterns that can be used across industries - but some that relate to that specific industry, in my case HIT. However, there has even been a debate (and possibly it is terminology) with a design system how pattern libraries play a role in that design system versus tokens and/or combining into components. I'd love to hear feedback on that topic.
