Designers are now handing over code Instead of mockups, designers are increasingly shipping prototypes built by AI agents directly into production. The market has finally answered the debate on whether designers should code: UX/UI roles now require AI-assisted development and production-ready delivery. For frontend developers, this shifts the workflow: you receive functional though not always clean - code, meaning you will have to strictly enforce code reviews before release. The most compelling takeaway for me is the numbers: demand for UX/UI/Product Design is projected to grow by 16% through 2034, with design skills outpacing coding and cloud expertise in AI products Companies want technical capabilities translated into human-centered interfaces, which means aligning on architecture will have to happen much earlier. Generated functionality is not yet good functionality.
