How Figma Becomes a Token, in a Design System. This is hummed to “How a Bill becomes a Law”, Schoolhouse Rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
——————–<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron: Uph! You sure gotta build a lot of components to get to IDS here at Infor. But I wonder who that sad little scrap of Figma is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m just in Figma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, I’m only in Figma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I’m sitting here at Infor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, it’s a long, long journey to IDS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s a long, long wait while I’m sitting in Figma,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I know I’ll be a Token<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least I hope and pray that I will,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But today I am still just in figma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron: Gee, Figma, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figma: Well I got this far. When I started, I wasn’t even in Figma, I was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a better experience, so they called their UX Expert and he said, “You’re right, there oughta be a component\/token.” Then he sat down and built me out and introduced me to Dev. And I was built in Figma, and I’ll remain in Figma until they decide to make me a Token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m just in Figma<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes I’m only in Figma,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I got as far as Test Server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, now I’m stuck in Figma<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I’ll sit here and wait<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While a few key Stakeholder discuss and debate Whether they should let me be a Token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How I hope and pray that they will,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But today I am still just in Figma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron: Listen to those Stakeholders arguing! Is all that discussion and debate about you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figma: Yeah, I’m one of the lucky ones. Most Figma\u2019s never even get this far. I hope they decide to report on me favorably, otherwise I may die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron: Die?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figma: Yeah, die in Fiugma. Oooh, but it looks like I’m gonna live! Now I go to the Nunzio and Danielle, and they vote on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron: If they vote yes, what happens?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figma: Then I go to the Luca and Ben and the whole thing starts all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron: Oh no!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figma: Oh yes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m just in Figma<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, I’m only in Figma<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if they vote for me in IDS<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, then I’m off to the Stakeholders<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where I’ll wait in a line<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a lot of other Figma\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the Stakeholders to sign<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if he signs me, then I’ll be a Token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How I hope and pray that they will,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But today I am still just in Figma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron: You mean even if the Stakeholders says you should be a Token, the Stakeholders can still say no?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron: Yes, that’s called a veto. If the Stakeholder vetoes me, I have to go back to Figma and they vote on me again, and by that time you’re so old…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron: By that time, it’s very unlikely that you’ll become a Token. It’s not easy to become a Token, is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figma: No!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But how I hope and I pray that I will,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But today I am still just in Figma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nunzio: He signed you, Figma! Now you’re a Token!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figma: Oh yes!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
