I'm talking about bad designs. Grandparent mentions Figma, this is who I'm talking about.

Developers have to work on the app the whole day and they know when a design is bad for long term usage. Either by doing manual testing, or even when automating it.

UX people dictating the designs will rely on instinct even when developers complain that a design is inefficient. Or even for visual design things like excessive padding getting in the way of making the apple useable. IME, YMMV.

If you're talking about inexperienced/unemphatic developers being in charge of UX alone: well, yeah, that will happen too.

TFA is about not having a designer. If you have a bad designer, then fix that glitch.

Once again: grandparent post says "e.g. they will design a table in Figma, make it look nice", so I was answering in that context.
