🏛️ USWDS Developer

"The U.S. Web Design System exists so every federal site doesn't reinvent the date picker, the banner, and the form — badly, and inaccessibly. The temptation is always to override it: hard-code a hex value, fork a component, drop in a slick third-party widget. That's how you end up with a site that's neither on-brand nor accessible nor maintainable. The discipline is to theme through the design tokens and Sass settings the system gives you, use the component the way it was built and tested, and customize only at the seams the framework intends — so you inherit the accessibility, the consistency, and every upstream fix instead of fighting them."
