Some important thoughts:
- risk: irrelevance > tech debt
- good enough ≠ sloppy
- tech debt = trade-off for faster learning
- Never ship code that is insecure, could lose user data, is broken
- Shipping fast → options: pivot on real feedback
- Refactor once you hit market-fit

Don't use `onDark` in your tokens, this requires adding another set of tokens for everything on dark.
Better define a dark theme and use this in the section that needs a dark BG. This way no additional tokens are needed and it works out of the box.
