| Apr 13, 2023 at 18:18 | comment | added | Gene | @KitangaNday that's a hard one because I kind of stumbled upon it. I started as a ux designer and as we outsourced our developers, the front-end design was never up to par with my wireframes/prototypes I provided. I asked if I could do my own coding so I wouldn't bother the developers with my small changes. I started by taking the code they wrote and rewriting the front-end so that it was more UX friendly. The more I comfortable I got, the more they had me coding. Eventually I pushed to change my title from UX designer to UX engineer. | |

| Apr 13, 2023 at 17:53 | comment | added | Kitanga Nday | @JohnGB I see what you mean and I agree. Unfortunately, I agree more with my mentor when he told me that technology shouldn't limit design. My opinion is that it can, this situation being a good example, especially with the popularity of agile. But still, I feel that the Devs should at least give a shot. "Please don't stop trying" - apparently a Japanese proverb | |
| Apr 13, 2023 at 17:16 | comment | added | Gene | I would say it is originally a technical limitation, however I am a UX engineer and can rewrite the code to fit the UX I want. I think the initial idea was to limit calls to the server, but because the current "apply" only saves changes locally and the "submit changes" makes one call to the server for the entire list of changes, I can remove the apply button and have the changes save locally automatically. I mainly wanted to know if there were any benefits worth discussing as far as keeping the "apply" button | |
| Apr 12, 2023 at 22:58 | comment | added | JohnGB♦ | @KitangaNday I absolutely agree that this is likely frustrating to users, but what can be done UX wise isn't done in isolation of everything else. If it's a technical limitation within that organisation, a UX designer has to do the best job they can within the constraints that they have. We can't just have an ideal solution that can't or won't be implemented, as the end result will be no improvement. | |
| Apr 12, 2023 at 22:25 | comment | added | Kitanga Nday | Yup, the second I read "...being told...", I knew a developer was behind this. Even just thinking about the solution, I can see why a dev might want to put the onus on the user to keep track of changes. Though the OP has a point, this is going to be frustrating for the users. | |
