Is Atomic Design Dead?
summary
Argument: Atomic Design remains useful as a hierarchy for UI components but the field moves toward shared, importable pieces rather than teams reinventing accordions and date pickers. Timeline cites Bootstrap, React, Figma, Storybook and tools like Zeroheight; standards like design tokens and web components let a single accessible implementation propagate across platforms. The talk warns of 90% AI-generated content by 2025 and proposes prefab, semantic components that fix accessibility once and scale—practical, not theoretical.
