Topics include:

  • 0:00 - Intro
  • 2:16 - Copy-paste vs. creating abstractions
  • 11:43 - How we used to build shared UI components
  • 15:34 - How we use UI components today
  • 22:42 - Is copy-paste the easiest way for developers to implement consistent design?
  • 27:41 - When should we create abstractions?
  • 37:15 - Designing copy-pasteable APIs
