Should coders design?
summary
Argues that engineers who learn core design thinking avoid context mistakes, resolve undefined behavior, and unblock delivery by doing concrete tasks like exporting assets from Sketch/Photoshop. Recommends use device capabilities (use GPS to skip an address screen and save ~15 seconds) and learn broader tech applications (pitch machine learning for habits or translation). Gives Apple examples that prove the point: camera plays reversed shutter sound, notifications target the most recently active device, Siri routes to the most capable device, and Face ID updates after a failed unlock plus passcode.
