How do you make developers to care about your design system?
Design Systems WTFEpisode 54 - How do you make developers to care about your design system?
Live recording of the fortnightly podcast Design Systems WTF (back for season two!), where Luke Murphy and Michelle Chin attempt to combat all the amazing wtf in design systems. In each episode, they answer a single question around design system troubles with a Q&A from the live audience.
Getting developers interested in the design system still seems to be a challenge for a lot of design system teams in 2026. So how do you get them interested in what you’re doing? Do you need to bribe them with snacks? Luke and Michelle discuss ways to get engineers on board, why it’s essential, and common pitfalls with design systems sans developers.
