There were times, when we don't have enough designers in team; at that time front end engineers also work on design part.
I know a guy who worked in my team, who was very good in bringing mock UI (using Photoshop), HTML, CSS, JS.
I have not seen anyone else who were better like him even when they were specialized in designing part or coding part alone. It was great skill set. Miss that guy :(
I agree there's people who can design and build applications and be good at it. But these are two separate jobs and should be treated as such. I've seen this mentality in small startup founders hoping for one person to build and design everything. The person can easily end up being overworked.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Frontend engineer will design the UI? I thought a designer would do that.
