From my experience, it's more of an accident. For example, one senior backend developer was introducing new feature, and to do that, he created a POC UI. It looked fine. At the time, the project had very little UI, and it was focused more on the developers, so nobody would use the UI a lot. Little did he know the POC UI would not only ship, but become de-facto the face of the product for the next 6 years, since when other UI pages were added, they'd take his simpler design. After a while, pretty much all the UI followed his design.
- Sharlin 8y agoAh, good old path dependency.

But when they use custom design (based on Bootstrap) I discover a handful of bugs in minutes. Some design changes seem fine to everybody else but causes your burdens to multiply.
