Just read a blog post where, apparently, designers are now complaining about systematizing their designs and want to go back to the days when they hand crafted artisinal HTML for every page, over and over, for that rustic expensive website look.https://daverupert.com/2020/01/the-web-is-industrialized-and-i-helped-industrialize-it/ …

In fact, every time I see someone whine and complain about being forced to bow down to The Man and create a design system, I almost always catch them using a homegrown system to get their work done faster. Macros, templates, tricks, brushes, special software, everything.

So the idea that systematization of art is somehow anti-artistic is bullshit, and it's always been bullshit. Artists for millennia were professionals who made products and wanted quality, and to create that quality product they crafted systems & manufacturing operations.

Just go read about Rembrandt's workshop and others from that era and you see it's a manufacturing operation. The atelier system of education is based on this even, where students learn aspects of painting by doing them in an assembly line style.

And if design and art has never been capitalist, propagandist, or authoritarian then why are there so many paintings of kings? Let's face it, art has never been socialist or for the people. It's always been self-serving and courting the favor of the powerful.pic.twitter.com/GMirOW9CEp
