design systems come with built-in assumptions and limitations. then those constraints inevitably shape your solution in ways you never intended, forcing you to work around the components instead.

most design systems make exploring and iterating on UI so much harder and time consuming than it needs to be. i never thought i would say that 😱

cause unless you have a highly flexible and robust design system, you’re gonna run into problems when you realize either something you need doesn’t exist, or it does exist but doesn’t quite solve the problem the way you wanted
