You are given a figma that wasn't already researched and validated against requirements? If it takes a week for a team to fiddle around with a design asset only to learn customers/clients would be fine with a simpler approach, everyone failed the assignment. This was intended as a rhetorical question... I know many teams let designers waste tons of time in a vacuum and PMs are off in lalaland focused on the wrong activities, when they should be focused "building the right thing" and carefully validating that and communicating outcomes to the team and customers. Im all for letting Engineers along for the ride, but too often they (more the jr mid-level ones) are checked out during that process, not asking implementation questions or contributing to research process, until its all hindsight.

Reading this kinda threw me into a loop. Yes, jr and regulars are usually not able to do things generally attributed to senior developers.

Expecting someone that neither knows the implementation nor the language in-depth to be able to do that is kinda monkas

I disagree, it's great practice and starting early in a career will only pay dividends later on. It requires the desire to actually want to participate and contribute professionally and not just hide behind a keyboard all day. I get that some people just want to hide behind a keyboard all day- fine. These people often complain the most later on... in my experience.
