Summary

Gatsby decided to transform their planned Virtual Gatsby Days into a content series to maintain focus on the Black Lives Matter movement while still sharing valuable insights from scheduled speakers. This approach allows the community to access the content at their convenience, with product and program announcements initially shared in a blog post, followed by a video series. A highlight is Adekunle Oduye's presentation on using Gatsby and Storybook to create dynamic design system documentation, emphasizing the importance of integrating documentation into the development process to ensure consistency, reusability, and scalability. By making documentation a living part of the code, it remains current and efficient, enhancing productivity. Adekunle, a Senior UX Engineer at Mailchimp, advocates for design systems and teaches programming skills to those affected by the justice system, sharing his expertise through presentations and on platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter.
