This was an experience report given to a Pluralsight audience, meant to increase understanding and appreciation of the Design System we made for ourselves by sharing a history of where it all started and how we came to the place we have. A similar talk meant for an external audience could be interesting, but would likely differ in content for sake of interest.

Since the inception of our design system, React has been a core technology. Being in a polyglot tech organization however, React wasn't always a given. We never thought that the design system would be able to serve all teams equally. But we wondered if we might do more to support the non-React teams and products.
