summary
Conversation covers concrete tradeoffs: design systems as a component inventory that accepts one-offs rather than a 0%/100% rule, Jamstack SSG build-time comparisons (Go-based generators beating others, a one-second vs much longer build anecdote), CI automation using github actions that runs image-optimization on pull requests and commits fixes, Lighthouse CI and visual testing for regressions, pre-commit hooks leading to developer friction, and pragmatic advice on when to favor minimal tools over heavier tech like WebAssembly.
