designers stuck at the ends of the workflow FrontEndDev 10/14/26 (Wed) 15:15:31 ee34f No.2223

The middle part of the process is basically disappearing.

It's weird because the heavy lifting on components and assets feels like it's being automated away, leaving only the high-level strategy or the tiny manual tweaks. I don't see how we maintain any consistency if nobody is actually building out the middle layers anymore.

The heavy lifting part is exactly what's killing my interest in new projects lately. My last sprint was basically just staring at a Figma plugin and clicking buttons until the layout looked okay, which feels more like QA than actual design.
