Everything is a design system.
Nothing is a design system.
It is decided.

Curious how Uber’s Base Design System shows up in the actual product experience?
Join us LIVE for the next Inspect & Reflect session where we’ll explore how Base DS components, patterns, and tokens are implemented across Uber
This is not a slide deck session. It’s an in-the-product, hands-on discovery workshop using the @InfaAi Chrome extension to map and see real-world usage, collaboratively, in real time.
We’ll dive into:
* How tokens are defined and applied
* How Base Web components scale across experiences
Featuring systems leaders from across the industry:
@DianaWolosinUX – Senior UX Designer, Design Systems at Indeed
@gonzovas – Senior Product Designer, Design Systems at Zalando
@withinsight – Senior Frontend Engineer, Design Systems at Apiture
Alberto Martinez – Design Systems Principal at AVIV Group
June 19, AM – AM PT
Free registration: infa.ai/events/uber_20250327
This session is about learning, not critique. Uber’s Base DS team is not participating to keep the space open and exploratory
✨ See you there!

Hey #DesignSystems crew, we’re diving deep into Uber’s Base Design System **LIVE** with a panel of stellar systems thinkers 🤩
This isn’t a case study. This is a hands-on, in-the-product, learning-by-doing workshop.
We’ll use the Infa ai extension to explore @UberDevelopers, run a live component inventory, and assess how the system shows up in the real world and learn together 🙏
Featuring:
@DianaWolosinUX – Senior UX Designer, Design Systems at Indeed
@gonzovas – Senior Product Designer, Design Systems at Zalando
@withinsight – Senior Frontend Engineer, Design Systems at Apiture
Alberto Martinez – Design Systems Principal at AVIV Group
June 19, 9AM PT
RSVP here: infa.ai/events/uber_20250327
What makes this different?
* Learn how to perform a structured design system audit
* See how large-scale component ecosystems work in the wild
* Discover strategies for improving adoption and consistency
* Vote, annotate, ask questions, and co-create with peers
Note: This is a learning session, not a critique of Uber’s work. We understand how complex and nuanced large-scale adoption is and intentionally don’t invite internal team members so we can keep it exploratory, unbiased, and open.
If you’re working with a design system or trying to scale one you’ll love this. See you there? And don't forget to join Design Tokens session this Thursday

** Evidence You Might Be In A Cult **
You follow one charismatic Leader
In your Leader’s mind your Leader can do no wrong
In your mind your Leader can do no wrong
Your Leader demonizes outsiders
Loyalty's the ultimate measure of your devotion
You don't know you're in a Cult
Watching Cavs vs Blazers and the Cavs commentators are talking about the Celtics for the first 6 minutes of the game. Funny.
What do these players have in common?
Jaylen Brown
Derrick White
Jrue Holiday
Payton Pritchard
Sam Hauser
They all had 0 points in the second half of yesterday’s loss to OKC.

Given his recent turn to the loony side, it's a small jump to envision Musk and his army of Optimus Prime robots shifting to conquest for world domination.

"Cloning Material as a starting point for your design system is sacrilege" @bortrock at The Question.
Yup.
"In my mind, a good site or app design system is mostly HTML and CSS, with Web Components for progressively layering in interactivity." --@ChrisFerdinandi
