i stumbled upon this article that reallyy got me thinking about how 'lovable' products might be going out of style. it talks all about
how design engineers are changing the game, moving beyond just being proficient at both visual and front-end dev but actually creating their own distinct discipline.
the piece mentions design engineering is like a venn diagram where ux meets tech implementation - sounds pretty cool to me! i mean, who wouldn't want products that look amazing and work flawlessly?
i'm curious if anyone here has noticed more of these roles popping up in projects you've worked on. have your teams started hiring for this role or are they still sticking w/ traditional designer/dev splits?
any thoughts and experiences shared would be super helpful!
