For a decade, my professional identity was designer-who-can-code. I was in VS Code more often than Figma. My deliverables were often functional prototypes. “Here’s how it would feel to use it.” But now? Every designer can ship functional prototypes with their new coding agent friends. Did I just lose my differentiation? Did I waste my time learning to code? No. If anything, the years of practice working with code is a force multiplier for doing interesting and ambitious projects. To understand why, let’s start from the beginning. Why bother learning to code at all? Shipping code was never the goal. Code is a means of exploring, finding, and proving a design direction. Using Figma (or Sketch back in the day) felt like doing a lot of work to build a facsimile of the experience. Writing code, long and tedious as it were, at least had the virtue of being real. A big focus of my design work is data visualization, which you literally cannot mock up. You can’t see how well a design works until you put data through it, and you can’t do that without code. The new generation of agentic design tools (e.g. Lovable) is better, but still feels like facsimile. Prompting your way to pixel perfection feels… wrong. It’s Figma with extra steps. Which brings me back to code. If your work is a UI, there is just no higher fidelity material than code. And now coding agents makes that material more accessible than ever. Amelia wrote about the painter’s loop Watch a painter work and you'll notice something obvious. They don't just paint. They step in, make a stroke, step back. Look at the whole canvas. Think. Step in again. That in my mind is the core of a designer’s inner loop. This was the work when the making was in Illustrator, in Sketch, in hand written HTML/CSS. This is still the work when prompting an agent (or a fleet of agents) to refine a design. It’s faster, higher fidelity, but as Amelia mentioned, “You still need the same time to figure out whether you're building the right thing.”
