      @adrianh @sophiedennis @leisa Current organisational structures for open source projects cannot support design-led dev. Need new structure.

      @aral @adrianh @leisa @sophiedennis Agree. Current open source project structures encourage design by committee.

      @adrianh @aral @daveixd @leisa @sophiedennis Disagree, code is just the implementation of a product and its design.

      @ralphsaunders @adrianh @daveixd @leisa @sophiedennis Until you actually start making a thing, all design is varying degrees of assumption.

          @aral @adrianh @daveixd @leisa @sophiedennis Certainly there's compromise, but ultimately the code is the way a design is implemented.

          @ralphsaunders @aral @adrianh @daveixd @leisa do we agree great UX needs design + dev? Perhaps any skew too far to one or other is harmful?

          @aral we also know that there are other useful ways of evaluating design assumptions, too. /@ralphsaunders @adrianh @leisa @sophiedennis
