   When building a truly new technology, it's impossible for a designer to design something around it until a developer has implemented it first.

     This is a challenge to the idea that the best products are created by non-technical visionaries like Steve Jobs. They are actually created by people like Tim Berners-Lee, and it changes the whole reality that product people live within.

     Imagine trying to design a future-proof SQL database for XYZ application.
     
     Impossible.

     In italy we have only "barrabarra", there's no words for backslash. Would be "Barra rovesciata", but you even don't know which direction is 😆

     No. In most cases, the implementation is created so the design that requires it is made possible. The implementation serves the design. The design usually has to come first.

     Sometimes, the implementation creates opportunities for other designs, but only after it has been serving its original design for some time.

     @LCCMV Your web browser wouldn't have a URL bar if an engineer didn't create URLs. You could maybe call Tim Berners-Lee a "designer" in some sense, but not really.

     He had a design in mind. He wasn't a monkey randomly banging the keyboard and coming up with the implementation by accident.
