So, technically, this is not a "design system". Design systems provides code and implementation to use. I'm a developer at an agency that specializes in building design systems, and this system" is missing the key component--the code. I'll code up your design system if you send me an approved napkin sketch.

Can you shoot me an email? Link's in my profile. Would love to pick your brain about a few things.

There is a ton of confusion around this right now, I've noticed.
I haven't heard the term "design system" in this context before. Can you give a definition or overview of what it is?
Maybe a good medium article :) This video here helped start coining the term: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hYOLLO2gc4

[edit] Invision beat me to it: https://www.invisionapp.com/blog/design-systems/ and also this site [probably the most comprehensive IMHO] lists lots of resources: http://styleguides.io/examples.html

Technically correct, this is a style guide template and not a complete design system. Good catch.
