"When it starts to get really busy here, you half expect to see staff running around in a kind of frenzy, but that's not what happens. What you see instead is a kind of intense focus on whatever task they have in front of them." https://t.co/BZqR7SFWPW

@martinkl @ramcq But I am an inherent optimist. I trust that most people have good intentions, and that feels like the world I inhabit.

[Stuart Roebuck @stuey]

@martinkl @ramcq My analogy was probably unnecessarily extreme. But the reality is that businesses don't get inspected very often, and we trust and rely on them until they close down, and we understand that risk even if it comes as a disappointment or a source of sadness... and then we move on.

The Design System promotes the re-use of pre-built components which are common to most websites and digital services. This drives efficiencies in the use of public funds and saves time and resource for development teams.
