Just to be clear this isn\u2019t yet another article about whether designers should code or not, this is for designers who already code and do full-fledged front-end development. If you have ever tried looking around for inspiration, motivation and role models, you may have tried googling \u201cunicorn\u201d, \u201cdesigner-developer hybrid\u201d, \u201cdevigner\u201d or whatever the most current label is.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, by doing so you will likely find many articles by angry designers and developers alike saying that you just can\u2019t do both, or that you\u2019re doomed to be bad at either if you ever attempt it, which is somewhat strange because I rarely see anyone say that about other hybrid professions: full-stack developers, IT projects managers, support engineers and many more. It is understandable that some want to be narrow-specialists and not generalists, and I do not think there\u2019s anything wrong with that at all either! However, seeing so much negative information can be really frustrating and discouraging if you\u2019re already a multidisciplinary professional yourself, or are aspiring to be one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
