AMA with Mark Dalgleish
summary
Notes focus on concrete outcomes and tools: Playroom 0.1 (React/JSX) extracted from an internal tool, Sketch integration that updates component suites at the push of a button, Jest snapshot tests plus a visual-diff approval workflow for catching UI regressions. Claims: designers can read JSX-based examples, pairing designers and developers speeds iteration, design systems prevent costly back-and-forth, and visual testing surfaces meaningful changes while still needing human approval.
