Do UX Designers Need to Know How to Code?
"A UX designer does not need to know how to code, but a UX designer does need to understand the code that goes into product development. Since both developers and designers work together on product teams, they should speak each other's language. That shared fluency enhances the team dynamic and the product creation, making everything more seamless."
