Language turns abstract ideas into tangible ones. Having a shared language allows us to understand one another and work together.

In this episode, Engineering Lead Jason Bernert of the Washington Post walks us through Design Systems: what are they, and how does this system shape the shared language and experiences his development team, reporting, and the readers who engage with the newspaper’s digital content.

This is a special episode because Keith believed everything Jason said was gold. We’ll be doing part two next week, when we’ll dig into how design systems have historically shaped Dungeons & Dragons, and how those systems are rapidly changing the RPG.
