Why Are Designers Becoming Full-stack?

Marvin Schwaibold says designers are becoming more full-stack, and he puts engineers and product managers on the same shift. The wind he had just pushed on a grass scene is the kind of fun project he says he could not have done before AI. He might have had the ideas, and he still was not allowed, or able, to execute them.

He calls this the change in the design role. The work runs in every direction, and there is no limitation now on who can carry an idea through.

Aaron Epstein follows with a pattern he sees on the prototypes: small widgets that control the variables, so the feel can be tested. Previously that was not worth anybody's time. A person might tweak values in code until they were good enough, or skip the experiment.
