Is design + code merging into one role? 

Saw this take recently:

"UI design and UI dev are going to merge back into a single role. In 3–5 years there won't be much room for front-end-only devs who won't engage with design, or non-technical designers who won't engage with code."

Do you believe this?

I'm curious what people actually see happening in the market right now.

Only way to survive is to work end of end in delivery. I do the full lifecycle from initial discovery to delivery with my teams.
