"Web-Stack" developer with a focus on accessibility design and development patterns, data visualization and DevOps automation.
Fell in love with Node, JS, SPA's and the JAMStack. Bye LAMP.
Haha, great question! I think it was at Algolia when I first heard the term. We had a guy who was a designer and illustrator by background but had gotten very good at front end coding, enough where he could make his project ideas come to life end-to-end. He called himself a devsigner, and since then I've seen some other people doing it too.
I'm sure there is more backstory here though widely speaking, so many titles out there 😛
Usually devsigned/devsigner has a more negative (though not usually too negative) connotation than that. Usually it refers to a page or app or feature &c which has not been fleshed out by an actual designer and for which a developer has done their best to make it look good. Obviously the results depend on the design chops of the dev

Ok, what is a "devsigner"... And why do I feel you could make a whole post on just the backstory of this term.
As a frontend developer I can't tell if it's funny or I should be #triggered.
:D

This was my thought when I saw it.
