Live recording of the fortnightly podcast Design Systems WTF, where Luke Murphy and Michelle Chin attempt to combat all the amazing wtf in design systems. In each episode, they answer a single question around design system troubles with a Q&A from the live audience.
As an apt way to end a very long season one of Design Systems WTF (don't worry, they'll be back later in the year), Michelle and Luke dive into the topic of when to quit. Is there a point where the uphill climb is too steep? Or should we keep on fighting the good fight forever?
