“Prototypers, who often have both design and engineering skills, care about the user experience just as much as the technology that brings it to life. Since they aren’t bound by the same constraints as engineering teams—like addressing security and scalability concerns or writing production code—they can build on short timelines, with fast feedback and iteration cycles, and quickly answer questions for design and product partners. They also encourage trial and error, are extremely comfortable writing throwaway code, and restarting from scratch. More than anything though, they’re great partners in early-stage discovery and iteration and readily jump into the design process with the goal of helping designers learn more about the experiences they want to implement.”
