I think it’s an intimidation / process problem with so many companies. They have methodical design -> dev handoff processes run by PM’s who don’t want to rethink the cadence and someone who can work on both sides of the fence is just too different

The smart ones. Odd how little support that title gets. Every other buzzword title has gained traction in tech except for design engineer.
Full Matthew Encina status, can’t wait to see this place when it’s done 👏
Here's a hot take: we're changing our UI from dark to light in firstlayr.com. Why, you ask? Well, we want our tool to be more user-friendly. The dark theme tends to overwhelm users, whereas the light theme feels welcoming and easier on the eyes.

I legitimately watched a slack debate unfold at my last company that went like this: “what do we refer to an IC7 as if IC6 is principal?” “we’ve actually never had an IC7 so we don’t know” “then why does IC7 exist?” 😵💫
There are like a dozen $10b startups trying and failing to provide more value to my life than these two free bros always have, and always will

I’ve been using styled for a few years now but just diving into tailwind, wasn’t sure if they mixed or not! Thanks Nate!
Getting ready to come to terms and accept it. Each day we stray further and further from vanilla js
