To play the devil’s advocate for a bit - it sucks to be a developer and get handed a design that is literally not possible to implement in a nice responsive way without hacking your way around and kinda sorta making it work.
Designers who don’t know the basics of code need to put in the work too. nostr:note1gkkvj6el57fdyhtyqvfendl8f7hgn40yqusjp2p2fggkedmv7c2sfrakyv
Designers need to learn code. but they don't need to code.
Or at least know html and various frameworks and their limitations.
I'm consistently finding myself teaching front-end developers about esoteric css knowledge. lol
Surprised myself when making this WP site. Used a theme and redesigned it, added a bunch of CSS and even integrated it with Nostr. I'm not a dev.
Yup.
It’s painful as a dev to have to explain why certain designs aren’t feasible or worth the trade offs.
I’ve often wondered how the process worked between the two. 🤙
Product with designers, dream dreams, goes back and forth, and produce figmas.
Product hand figma to tech and say develop this. Goes back and forth asking why it’s not the same.
At least someone like you understands that. I’m so glad.
Ideally designers would use psuedocode and charts to map how things are supposed to work in broad strokes
While I mostly agree sometimes knowing the limits, limits the designers all out creativity.
