morluto was my first outside GStack contributor morluto: @garrytan honored to have written the first PR! the design-review skills really encode a lot of domain expertise I find it incredible how it keeps getting better in different dimensions https://x.com/morluto/status/2033264287792480654?s=46

RT Shashi (シャシ) I think coding is slowly killing my design taste. ever since I started spending more time inside IDEs, something’s shifted in my brain. earlier, my default mode was pure design, obsessing over spacing, micro-interactions, tiny details that no one notices but everyone feels. now I start with constraints. scalability, edge cases, timelines, dev effort. “can we build this?” shows up way before “does this feel right?” and the weird part is I still see everything. I know when something feels off, when it could be pushed further, when it lacks that sharpness. I just… don’t go there anymore. I cut iterations faster. I compromise earlier. I settle for “this works” instead of “this feels right.” I think being close to code rewires you. you start filtering ideas through feasibility, and slowly, taste takes a backseat to practicality. craft gets replaced by closure. and it’s such a silent shift you don’t even realise it’s happening. is this growth or is this how designers slowly lose their edge without even noticing it ?
