There is a debate happening on Reddit where someone is making the point that you can't really be a UX designer without strong visual skills.

Is #UX really just 'mostly doing visual stuff' now?

Of course visual design skills help. UX Designers juggle many skills. But to say that you MUST be great a visual design in order to succeed in the job market feels entirely off to me.

Most companies have both UX, Visual designers, AND researchers (among other things)

nostr:npub1j46f9va5qdrmamcwmncew7g8mwekgma386dhws6k04fsnlkqpcpsj23gm7 From where I sit, anecdotally, I've seen UX and UI very smooshed together to the point you mention – there's no research happening, and UX is solely seen as a wireframing production activity, so "just make mockups" is where things go. I would argue it's common in immature organizations, and in my job search I can say I've also seen a lot of this.
