Great event on design and engineering at Shopify’s Montreal office 🤩

Key takeaways:
1. “Design engineer” is not a title the Shopify team is currently hiring for. It means the team looks for designers with an engineering mindset and vibecoding skills, and engineers with taste and a strong design point of view.
2. As designers, try not to tie jobs to titles. The old mindset, “I’m a UX designer, not a graphic designer,” no longer works. The lines are blurring.
3. Shopify’s design teams already use Cursor, vibecoding, and prototyping in an internal product playground, and are expected to ship PRs to production.
4. Designers should keep an artistic point of view and lead with taste. Follow our curiosity, and learn new tools.
5. The highest leverage now is to learn from AI, don’t outsource thinking. Go down the rabbit hole of coding, fill our blind spots, and educate ourselves with AI.

Stay curious, master the craft, start shipping small. In the end, “Good tools make a skilled craftsman better. They will not make a poorly skilled craftsman great.”
