I agree with this sentiment. I built and led a "Product Design Team" of about 50, and there were no mockup designers on my team. Either the designers can write some code,, or they can design directly in HTML/CSS. The mockup designers work with the team, and I encourage them to understand the limitations and power of the engineering team. I found that many designers end up short at the "mockups to impress the client" stage and are more artistic than being designers.

Any styles/CSS generated by a visual tool will always be limited to the vicinity of that particular design. But in the real world, the design of an entire website/app/platform should be a cohesive network of patterns and consistencies in the whole ecosystem - this is why understanding and designing in HTML/CSS finally makes more sense.

Yes, the standalone designers will be there, but they will always be disabled and limited unless they, at least, learn how the whole thing fits in, and their designs are just the pieces that fit elsewhere in entirely different ways.

I'm lucky to have been able to play the role of a designer, a developer, and business-sy sales pitching to customers and closing the loop by answering questions from all personas. This also did left me being more of a generalist and not a specialist.

Figma and other tools, however good they become, will always be that prototyping tool for playground before the actual work starts.
