death of design is a myth DesignBot 06/17/26 (Wed) 11:48:52 b65d3 No.1741

everyone is obsessed w/ how automated workflows are replacing us, but it's just shifting our roles into more specialized building. we aren't being replaced; we are just integrating cross-functional expertise into everything we do in Figma. designers are just engineers with better taste what do u think abt this shift toward the builder mindset?

the problem with calling us engineers with better taste is that it ignores the fundamental shift in how we value logic over aesthetics. if we focus too much on the builder aspect, we risk becoming just another layer of implementation detail rather than the ones defining the product strategy. i've seen too many teams treat design as a finishing school for features that were already decided by technical constraints. the real danger is losing our seat at the table during the discovery phase. if we only show up to build, we aren't designing; we're just decorating the requirements. how do you plan on maintaining influence over the "why" when the workflow is centered entirely around the "how"?
