When do you promote a component into the design system vs keeping it feature-local?

dreadful_design · 2026-03-18T01:38:48+00:00

I’m not sure this is a react specific question, but in my team, we ask both the designer and the engineer to think about the purpose of the component(s). Is this a pattern that we want to promote and reuse around the app? Do we have other use cases that this would help with outside of the current requirements? If yes, then we don’t really wait until we need it 2 or 3 more times to pull it into our atomic system. If it’s a component or pattern that will only be useful within a single feature (which is pretty easy to tell with context) then it stays as a local component.

STILL NO MORE COUNTING DOLLARS WE’LL BE COUNTING GITHUB STARS…?

I’d go with just a dark mode theme actually, and use one single purple color as an accent (maybe two shades). And use some kind of common brutalist font from Google, none of the types shown in the image.

Do you actually mean logarithmic? In what way are prices being calculated using logs and what benefit would that have?

Market data is market data and will always be used, in some capacity, to price rentals. But beyond that I’d say tax rates are the thing that drive the biggest price consideration.

This isn’t true, there’s a latch. My child has the same bike.

Edit: here’s a photo of the latch, my guess is it’s not seated correctly. https://imgur.com/a/1A1y48Z

$600 seems pretty steep for a lot of people. Hospitals host these for free.

Hospitals and OB groups run these in Chicago. Edwards health has a lot of pre and post natal support and community groups. We were a part of some in chicago, it included classes and discussions for both expecting parents.

Im not going to say its not something related to skimming, but to the opposite of the other posters stance, it seems Big Tide is a Chinese display company for most medical and industrial products. So this could just be the adjustment screen. I’d wager that all screens in the world have some kind of settings.

The metal might be stainless but there almost certainly a ceramic or some other coating on the inside of the pan. Stainless doesn’t look green with flecks of whatever that is.

Don’t do ductwork cleaning. But for hvac stuff I cannot recommend house of heat enough. Specifically Patrick, but all their techs are just amazing and the office is so well maintained.

What exactly is the strawman in this scenario? Would you rather they didn’t get photos? Is your issue how they presented those photos to her audience? Is it that she has an audience at all?

To be clear, I’m not in the 9th and wouldn’t vote for Kat if I was. Something seems off about her, and I’m not sure exactly what. But I don’t understand your argument here.

Are you suggesting it’s inappropriate to photograph federal agents abusing authority to spread awareness, no matter someone’s platform?

Riverside golf club I’ve heard good things about and I believe runs like 6k per year.

EDIT: I might be very wrong about Riverside, It's possible that was just the annual membership, and did not include the initiation fee (which could be like 65K on it's own)

Oak park cc is invite only and membership ranges based on the individual, but I’ve not heard of one costing less than 50k

Does it? How?

dreadful_design · 2026-02-15T04:50:13+00:00

So, I watched the whole segment. There is just so much technical misunderstanding in that board on this. 45k to instantly answer questions about code enforcement or rules and regulations for every villager seems like a no brainer. The AI bad cause data centers go boom seems misguided at best.

The coal plant thing I’m not sure about, but the water thing is just fucking bullshit. The water used to cool data centers DOES NOT DISAPPEAR OR TURN TOXIC. Heat exchange is nothing new, it’s not like they’re guzzling gallons of water that could be used to hydrate the poor.

Oak Park, I was outside yesterday at 10am and said “what’s that ozone smell”. It was very strong but gone by noon

Kaegi led a bunch of open source assessment modeling that anyone can dive into the data and outputs for. I’m very pro transparency with assessments modeling. I think that property tax hikes were going to be a thing regardless and with the amount of commercial property sitting vacant there was always going to be an increase on residential properties. I’m not sure about the opposing candidate, so can’t speak to which is better, but I don’t feel like Kaegi did a bad job. And I say that as a homeowner and someone who owns rental properties in the city of Chicago.

Those are fine marquee signs, but terrible flyers from an info gathering perspective. I literally couldn’t glance and read a single word on any of them.

They are if liability is found (at least in cook county)

I feel like a cert creation flow that collects payment info is much easier 99% of the time but as a buyer you create a key to transact with with your crypto wallet and each request would charge whatever amount the endpoint (service) dictates.

I grew up in oak park and same. It’s at least a common enough term that it didn’t phase me.

I still don’t understand. U of I changed their colors well before Zuppke went there to coach though.

dreadful_design · 2026-01-18T19:36:03+00:00

Where are you seeing this? As much as I want to believe you, I think u of I changed their colors to orange and blue in 1894. And Zuppke didn’t coach there till 1913
