As mentioned before, the PM didn't think too hard about the roadmap items beyond what would sound good. The UX designers now have to actually describe how the thing works (not so that devs can build it, devs will build whatever they want - but so that the UX designer can put it in their portfolio)

"how it looked in figma" showing a pizza shaped like a Minion vs "how it looks in prod" showing that the pizza has completely melted into a horrifying monster

Because hiring managers spend 0.3 seconds per portfolio looking at thumbnails on the landing page, the overriding concern of this stage is making the UI look good. This is why for the last decade, we've been doing "design systems" which is when you get to do UI designs without even a feature in mind

In practice yes, though really design systems are about governance

Anyway, this is why every website looks the same now and yet none of them actually work.

This is the most epic burn down on this topic I've ever seen. This should be spread far and wide. Absolute brilliance and a Hallmark for what to point to when product-and-growth-above-all-line-always-goes-up comes crashing into the earth taking jobs with it.
