Some thoughts on T-shirt sizing for spacing scales in design systems

Someone asked me about the spacing scale in Braid and I thought I'd share my thoughts here. For reference this is what they were referring to: https://github.com/seek-oss/braid-design-system/blob/ecdd7f3060cab2a6675cde7dd45bcd510caa268b/packages/braid-design-system/src/lib/themes/baseTokens/apac.ts#L166-L175

I could maybe have turned this into a blog post, but I'm just dropping my rough thoughts here instead.

In practice, the T-shirt size scale felt like indirection because our designers didn't think in those terms so it actually got in the way of developers and designers communicating.

The names also weren't really semantic in the sense that we couldn't confidently change them later without breaking a lot of layouts.

It also made it difficult to name new values to the scale, e.g. if we needed to add a value between "small" and "medium", what would we call it? I've seen things like "xmedium" in other systems before which shows how awkward this can get.

# Converts any integer into a base [BASE] number. I have chosen 62
# as it is meant to represent the integers using all the alphanumeric
# characters, [no special characters] = {0..9}, {A..Z}, {a..z}

# I plan on using this to shorten the representation of possibly long ids,
