WISYWIG UI builders that are slowly picking up momentum will eventually end up commoditizing this role. There will come a day when a product designer can just create the UI from mockups, generate tested, clean plumbing code much faster and more reliable than getting a front-end developer to do it. I would start learning to get proficient with upcoming UI builders and whichever framework it ends up supporting (most likely React).

- minitech 11y agoYes, I remember when FrontPage achieved this very same revolution.
