YOUR DESIGN SYSTEM WORKS IN FIGMA. DOES IT WORK IN CODE?

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Design systems often fail not because of poor components, but because design files and code speak different languages, creating friction at every handoff. Five practices help bridge that gap: structuring code-like frames, building through composition, organizing components by decision flow, using AI to validate naming and structure, and making documentation part of the design process. When systems mirror how code works, translation becomes effortless, and the system scales without breaking.
