Taste is the new design system

AI can produce an endless supply of reasonable options. It cannot decide which option is right for this customer, this moment, and this business without a clear point of view.

Systems still matter, but their role is changing from prescribing every output to encoding the standards by which outputs are judged.

Build constraints that carry intent

A useful design system captures more than components. It captures principles, anti-patterns, and examples of what good judgment looks like in context.
