Plan Like Einstein
summary
Argues that planning, not ad‑hoc PRs, fixes UX problems and lists three concrete practices: short‑term onboarding with contributor guidelines and starter tasks, mid‑term upstream UX culture via audits, documented goals/non‑goals and constraint docs, and long‑term roadmaps to pay down UX tech debt. Cites Penpot’s 2:1 developer-to-designer ratio as a deliberate investment in discovery and Metascore’s 14-month refactor as an example of pausing features to enable future UX work.
