Design and Engineering as one
This long read by Matthias is too good to get lost in my Mastodon favorites:
When design decisions are made in tools that have no concept of state, of time, of viewport, of the real unpredictability of content, you stop designing for the Web. You design a fiction of the Web. And then you hand that fiction to engineers, who absorb in the process all the compromises and assumptions that were hidden inside the original fiction matthiasott.com
As a person who's interest and professional education started in Graphic Design and then moved to working in and for The Web, this article rings so many bells and describes exactly why I always felt that I could give way more to the projects than the role that I often was asigned to ('needs only to be developed') in that waterfallish project flow.
