Little Bits of Iterative Component Design
watch on portal.gitnation.org ↗https://portal.gitnation.org/contents/little-bits-of-iterative-component-designsummary
Compares component API patterns in React—props-based APIs versus composition—using concrete examples like tooltips and a masonry layout, and discusses decision strategies engineers can use (including YACNI) to balance immediacy, reusability, and long-term technical debt. Looks at how user-facing APIs affect design systems and open source libraries (drawing on experience at Shopify) and surveys higher-level API guidance such as the role of standards bodies like TC39.
