What I observed so far in the world of FOSS. Developers generally don’t want ideas for them to implement.
If someone has a design idea, they need someone to PR the project and do it themselves. And the dev team can then accept the change if they are convinced.
Which is of course very difficult, because people are experienced in different things. You can’t expect a designer to write code, nor a dev to design. 🤷♂️
Yeah it’s more challenging in foss because you are not already a part of an established team with clearly defined roles and expectations. It’s also hard to tell if the designer knows what they are doing or if they are some random newbie. There’s no vetting process you typically see in the hiring flow. And sometimes the proposed changes are too large to implement and there was no communication to come to an understanding of expectations and capacity to execute the changes.
