I'm in the same boat.
I struggle hard with the UX, but I'm amazed that with modern tools I can create a rudimentary, but clean design in Sketch, code it, and manage the infrastructure behind it.
Even 10 years ago, these were 3 to 5 completely distinct skillsets (designer, frontend, backend, infrastructure, DBA).
- Tenemo 7y agoThe divide between these roles you mentioned has gotten bigger over time in my opinion. It's maybe easier nowadays to put together an okay-looking proof-of-concept app, but when getting into large apps and high traffic, the stack has gotten more complicated to do right. You don't just roll out server-rendered MVC app, but need front-end with 3 layouts for different devices and state management more complex than on the back-end. Or maybe that's just my feeling.
