Super button versus composition: discuss trade-offs and scalability
Tests combinatorial explosion and API trade-offs in design systems. Contrast the super button's exponential growth with composition's explicit APIs and linear scalability, noting governance needs. Red flag: absolutism or ignoring type safety and tree-shaking.
This tests combinatorial explosion and the tension between configuration and composition in scalable design systems. A strong answer contrasts the monolithic approach's exponential variant growth, tight coupling, and bloated props with composition's explicit APIs, linear scalability, and alignment with React patterns, while acknowledging the significant governance overhead. Red flag: advocating either extreme without trade-offs, ignoring type safety and tree-shaking, or treating Figma variants as a direct blueprint for code architecture.
