Guidance over governance
summary
Netflix design systems team argues that Hawkins is guidance not gatekeeping and shows concrete outcomes: a contribution-first system that starts with 18 components, migrates to Figma once adoption hits a 51% threshold (migration done in 28 days), and splits consumer and professional flavors for different needs. Tooling includes the Moria plugin that powers a 5,000‑box‑art research use case and the Figmagic onboarding path that records ~3,000 engagements, proving practical gains from less governance.
