Great point, I'm super interested in creating reusable, modifiable coded components, but I've always been curious about the delegation. I've heard stories of people both sides either undoing hard work or not able to empathize why such a feature is wanted.

Thanks, this is very informative! I'm a huge fan of having a base layer for your design system that can support all products for consistency and scalability purposes. And now with concepts like Design Tokens and tools like Bit and Storybook, the gap between designers and developers is getting smaller and smaller. Cheers!
