Design is dead, it’s all evolution now

When I was reading Richard Dawkins about evolution, one example stuck with me: the giraffe’s laryngeal nerve. It connects the larynx to the brain, but in a giraffe it runs all the way down the long neck, loops around the aorta, and then comes back up. Logically, it should run straight from the head to the larynx. But the giraffe evolved from a short-necked ancestor that already had this loop around the aorta. As the neck grew, the nerve simply stretched.

Making software used to be easy. Well, easier. Twenty years ago, desktop software was software. 99.999% of that used a mouse, keyboard, and monitor. Most were web-based–using plain HTML, CSS, and a (relative) sprinkle of Javascript. Frameworks existed, but there were less of them. Was it limiting? Oh, yeah–to the point of claustrophobia.

In practice, the hard part isn’t writing code, it’s everything that comes before it. Which component should be used? Which props are correct for this case? How does this behave with keyboard navigation and screen readers? What tokens to apply?
