As a backend dev, I made myself an expert at Tailwind specifically for this issue. I admit, using Tailwind out of the box simply creates decent interfaces. However, I disagree with the article: I don't think I'm ever going to be able to design something great, simply because I don't have the skills for that. I just don't think any library / tool or whatever can make you a skilled designer.

Don't sell yourself short. The only reason that should keep you back from designing something great is that it doesn't make sense as you haven't optimised for that.

I can create great designs, I can write great code and I can solve difficult problems in any domain, the issue is that some of those things would take more time that someone who specifically trained be able to do that thing in a reasonable amount of time.
