Should Designers Learn Code? Should Dev Learn Design?

In the premiere of Code & Canvas, we explore the evolving relationship between designers and developers through the perspective of a developer turned design engineer.

We discuss whether designers should learn to code, whether developers should learn design, and what really happens when polished mockups meet real-world constraints like performance and accessibility. The episode also touches on design handoffs, the rise of design engineering roles, and how AI is reshaping daily workflows.

If you care about building better products and reducing friction between design and engineering, this conversation sets the stage.
