Just realized I was overcomplicating our component library

Honestly, I used to think every button needed 10+ props for every possible state. After our project in Austin last quarter, a junior dev showed me her simpler version with just 4 core props, and it cut our build time by 30%. Ngl, I was totally wrong. Has anyone else found that fewer options actually made your system more useful?

But sometimes you really do need all those edge cases.

Totally feel you on the "10+ props" thing. I did the same with form inputs, making a crazy specific component for every data type. Tbh, cutting it down to a base component with like, three variants made the whole team actually want to use it.
