Anecdote: at my current org the ideal we talk about is having a component library designed in Figma by the Designers and implemented by the engineers.

In reality Design doesn't use components and most pages end up being composed of a bunch of one-off components and we waste a ton of time.

As a side effect of this, the app design isn't consistent across pages because we aren't sharing components.

Ditto, we have a quite a few designers and they mostly seem to struggle with thinking in components. They use design system like a color guide, and we keep reimplementing patterns on many pages.

Yeah that is the exact result I have observed before as well. I'm really curious to hear more examples about how this actually works out well in the end from others.

I recognize that my view of this is from the bottom up in terms of only really having worked for SV startups, but I want to learn more and see if I can't make it work a bit differently this time.
