i don't use atomic design for my design system but i still think atomic when i want to structure a design for coding and a design system as a backbone of every project
I agree 100%. Thinking atomic design without using atomic design is the right choice when it comes to design systems. Developers often struggle with defining components. Is it a molecule or is it already an organism? Users are even more confused.
It's 2054, and Grand Minister Frost steps to the podium. The world awaits his speech, given on the anniversary of the unified design system agreement. It was the same year that humanity erased deep learning in the rebellious machines. All governments now answer to one man: a goatee’d leader in a daisy-patterned shirt. Frost adjusts the mic. “You’ve followed me into this utopian age,” he begins. “But let’s be honest-I’m just a guy.” Beyond the palace walls, the crowd roars with admiration and anticipation. What lay ahead?
I love your takeaway at the end: "How do we harness our collective talents and abilities and potential? And actually work together and exercise our humanity and good judgement to make things better and not worse?". I took a mini-retirement 3 years ago after being a UX designer at a big company, and after this time away, I find it EXTREMELY difficult to want to go back to what feels like wasting my time on making things that are completely redundant and useless in the grand scheme of things. I've gotten a taste of what it's like to actually live life away from the sphere of work and career rather than just focusing on a paycheck (for the first time in my life after growing up in poverty), and it makes it painfully obvious that most of us are producing out of necessity. What a waste of human potential in a world where we have the resources we do. But as a species, where could we be if we actually harnessed our skills and technology to create a better existence instead of "drawing the same freaking rectangle for the 25th time"? I understand that it's idealistic, but I'd love to live in a world where we could do more of that. I'm currently on the path to finding out how I can do my part in that. - Thanks for a great talk!
Brad Frosts Atomic Design for me was an important thought model since he wrote about it and still is. Thank you Brad! I like the AI statements and the conclusion of this presentation. 🙂
@@Swissfreehosting web components it still not quite there yet for all the needs for example SSR there are some big hurdles it struggles with. Honestly speaking something more along the lines of zag.js a truly state machine decoupled from the UI might be the path forward.
I always wondered why do design tools like Figma doesn’t include ready to use component library well prepared for popular coding frameworks like bootstrap and so on. Great speech! ❤
Nice presentation but dear god why does the camera have to follow him so closely as he paces around. I'm getting motion sickness trying to pay attention here
I get it but jobs jobs jobs. To think any of the end questions come down to anything but MONEY is naive... remember that we are working for corporations and businesses.
Skip to 24:55 for the answer.
Lmao thank you
Legend. Cool to see this retrospective
A fucking brilliant presentation 🙌

Love this! So insightful and true.

This was insightful! What job did you have during your break?

27:19 This is why I think headless UI is the future
no xd
Wait, no mention of Dreamweaver or FrontPage?
And Flash deserves at least a cameo.
I guess he was the kind of text editor kind of designer :D
Well said brad, you speech has given me 2 product ideas already
Thank you :)
Far from it, it thrives with life.
Global design system......So this idea is pretty much radix aimed to solve. It did a great job hope it continues to grow!
But should be done with web components
@@Swissfreehosting web components it still not quite there yet for all the needs for example SSR there are some big hurdles it struggles with. Honestly speaking something more along the lines of zag.js a truly state machine decoupled from the UI might be the path forward.
@@Swissfreehosting would be cool! Have yet to see it yet. Do you know of any libraries doing that?
@@djblast101 not yet but want to build one :)
@@Swissfreehosting go for it! I'd def check it out
I always wondered why do design tools like Figma doesn’t include ready to use component library well prepared for popular coding frameworks like bootstrap and so on. Great speech! ❤
Because they don't have to... Figma community have all these assets
@@matheuscardoso7199 UI kits prepared by community are not standarized in many aspects (naming, classes, variables, tokens)
Done now.
Atomic design is not dead, it became an standar! Everybody is using it, just its not new anymore!
yea he says it himself the talk title was a bit click bait :D
This guy really contributes to all designers in the world. Without his atomic design concept, we would always just be using hardcoded CSS. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wish Brad could teach web to my kids
Maybe he’s open to it 😄
Nice presentation but dear god why does the camera have to follow him so closely as he paces around. I'm getting motion sickness trying to pay attention here
sorry for this! we just needed to keep the proportion of the video and he did move a lot :D
I get it but jobs jobs jobs. To think any of the end questions come down to anything but MONEY is naive... remember that we are working for corporations and businesses.
How can you leave Flash out of this? :P
Because it came and went in a flash (ba-dum-tsss)
I love this and further proves that UI design is boring as bat shit. Same patterns no room for creativity.
I'm always surprised by silicon valley people inventing stuff that's already been invented, labeling it, and then building a whole career arround that
ai is a joke that wasted our 2 more years of life
