3 reasons to learn some coding as a UX designer:

1️⃣ You get a feeling for how complex software engineering can be.

2️⃣ You and the developers speak the same language, use the same terms and understand each other much better.

3️⃣ If you want to implement prototypes yourself, the basics of coding will help you to get tests up and running faster.

Have you as a designer ever written a single line of code? 🙂

Next to general showcases and design iterations encouraging and motivating devs to ask for short showcases for specific hand-overs is a great way to check on designs again before they get implemented.

Improving your design-dev communication is always a good idea.

At 5 pm I thought to stop working on designs today. But then I came across Penpot @penpot and couldn't stop trying out this new software.

Extremely promising new open source approach! Love it! 💚
