I as a developer cannot refuse to not build as-is what was signed off by product manager in figma.

Recently had to put so many huge blurs that there was screen tearing like effect whenver you srcolled a table. AND No i was not allowed to use prebake-blurs because they wouldnt resize "responsively"

If you don’t have an engineering manager or tech lead able to back you on saying no to a PM, there is something seriously broken with that organization.

[zbentley]

True, but this describes at least half of software engineering organizations in my experience.

Yes. If the UX group has the power to compel you to do what you describe through a PM, without any involvement from or consideration for the warnings of you or your managers, then the problem is not "UX dEsIgNeRs".

Look at literally every website you use. How many of them aren’t doing shitty things like what’s being described? If you want to define every single organization as ‘broken’… okay then. It’s the organizations. But I will still blame the people whose job is supposedly UI and the “experience” of users, but who mostly just want to make their own kewl widgets because they think they have exquisite taste and are smarter than the people who designed the operating system.

It took me 15 minutes to convince the UX designer on our team that autofill is a good thing for certain fields and why it is a bad idea to force-style the autofilled fields.
