However, designing in code is technology-first. One could argue that the purpose of design - to shape the artifacts for human purpose - is better done NOT starting with the strict rules of code. Pen and paper is still hard to beat, not for anything that looks nice, but for helping your mind forward.
Designers aren't learning to code.
My wife works as a product manager in a FAANG and her team has leaned extremely heavily in using AI to vibe-code some pieces of software that they would have done on Word, Excel or similar otherwise.
They're not learning to code, they don't even look at the code a single second.
It helps to understand the constraints of a medium, but you really don't need to know every level down to the electrons moving through the silicon.
maybe that doesn't matter though, I suspect many developers will no longer look at all the code they produce either
Of course hammering away prompts aren’t learning at all.
