Ask HN: What do you wish was better in designer-developer interactions?

1 pointsby seestrawover 2 years ago
I&#x27;m studying how developers and designers can work together. I am curious about what sources of friction developers see with the other side (and vice versa).<p>One problem I am seeing is the developer handoff. Often designers give developers a Figma file, which is constantly changing, so developers are not sure when a design is finalized.<p>What other issues do you face in your team?

I don&#x27;t do much corporate work in a corporate environment so my thoughts might not be high value but...<p>1) designs that tend to be desktop first (and opposed to mobile first). Lots of images, extra long scrolling on mobile, etc. Basically an experience that doesn&#x27;t impress on mobile.<p>2) designers that write cheques that developers have to cash. Mind you, it&#x27;s good to be pushed outside your dev comfort zone, but there are limits (especially when there are time &#x2F; budget limits).<p>3) designs where the UX wasn&#x27;t thought through, or simply isn&#x27;t user friendly, and even after pointing out the (obvious) flaws there&#x27;s no revisions.
