Not sure I entirely agree with the article but there is a good point in there about understanding the constraints that development is bound by. But it takes a lot for designers to become proficient enough to do what they need in code, just as the opposite is true with developers doing design.

I think whether it's faster to code directly depends on many things:

  • skills: as designers become more specialized in Ux and interaction design, code has become lower priority

  • the design maturity of the project. Already have a design system with components and styles? Easy to whip up a page without sketching/doing mockups. Otherwise moving things around might be more difficult in code

  • the needs of the team . Does getting html/css make the devs lives easier? Can code be shown to stakeholders? Can feedback be gathered easily? Can iterations be made? Compared? Tested?
