      Do I know anyone that works at a company with layered design systems? Is that even a thing?
      
      Something like a global design system for consistency across all applications, and below that systems that are specific to their respective application
      
      Looking for opinions & resources

      is removeClippedSubviews={false} a terrible idea for Android these days? the clipping is kind of annoying because it makes individual frames where nothing is re-rendered feel unpredictable

      I realize this activity seems cryptic without context 😂
      
      Just putting out feelers for writing ideas! There’s so much beginner content out there, and I like the intermediate-to-advanced area more.
      
      Maybe an anonymous, asynchronous AMA will feel approachable.
