Ive really warmed up to the lowercase-a "agile" way of working in this way. Earlier in my career I just wanted design to have everything fleshed out and ready to go, that was their "job". I’ve now seen that fail multiple times.

It can be hard to communicate it to coworkers sometimes, but a lot of this would be much smoother if we all understood our jobs as making the product we ship. The design isn’t a product and nor is the repo. The designer might hold the pencil, and I might hold the brush but we’re both working on the same canvas.
