CODE AS THE SOURCE OF TRUTH

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

With AI tooling, treating code as the shared source of truth lets design and engineering function as one real team rather than handing work off in sequence. Designers can prototype real coded components before engineers finalize them, while engineers push directly into Figma for designers to refine, provided a subject-matter expert reviews every step. Pairing engineers and designers to teach each other's practices speeds up delivery, and, over time, the title lines between them begin to blur.
