Design IS the product. When we understand this, that’s when we can soar. Well, we may need marketing too 😜

Then I am out of the job. Design stands on the shoulders of solid foundation and infrastructure. Without it, it’s like putting lipstick on a pig before beauty contest 🐶🐾🫡
Then clearly you don’t understand. 🫡
That is probably the case. Looking for more info to help me understand 🐶🐾🫂
No worries, you're not the only one. This needs to be said to a broader dev community and probably requires a full post not a note.
I understand the conceptual need for a slick interface, because that is what users see and use and spend time on, but I also think that it is not the only thing that matters. Good design can only bring you so far, before the infra collapses 🐶🐾🫡
Yep, I hear you and understand what you mean, but there's much to be said and I don't have the time atm.
I know it’s an oversimplification, but these exchanges often make me wonder about confusions between design and styling. And the strange sense, that can come from that, of the build and design processes of something being somehow in competition…
In all the design areas I’ve ever engaged with, whether the outcomes have been visual, spatial, temporal, behavioural… it’s always really been about what a thing actually is and does, not what it looks like. When designed properly, it’s always going to end up looking like something that is and does that particular thing, in that particular way, even if you’ve never seen one of those things before...
It’s not that both the engineering and design need to be good, they actually need to be the same thing.
Excellent point! 🐶🐾🫡🫂
That’s the premise of my future TED talk. Thanks ☺️
For me, design is satisfying
Agree, it is the product, you can convey your message through the design
In all things?
