I just could boost the post of @hbuchel but that would just result in "another boost in your timeline" that is easily overscrolled.
Instead I would like to share this post with you in a separate post.
I really feel the is post from the other side. I'm not a web designer, I'm a frontend developer that's desperately searching for years for proper web designers and always wondered why there aren't any anymore.
It's basically an extinct profession. Killed by men and I was witnessing that multiple times in the last 17 years I've worked in this area.
Funfact: I wanted to be a web designer back then but was pushed out of the design part multiple times by my employers, because "we have the girls for that". 🤢
As I still wanted to "build the whole thing" I went the other route and became a full stack developer (PHP, JS, HTML, CSS, SQL). A much more accepted role as a cis male.
The result? I can't design anything anymore. I can communicate with designers that lack technical understanding of the web but I try to push for years to get these people time to get the technical knowledge… But even in a lead position that's much more difficult than you might expect.
Anyways, read this article, it's awesome and every bit is true. And sad.
