@mollydotcom It's EXTREMELY important. I speak on that very topic: bit.ly/VfXHn7
@mollydotcom Yes. In our agency we have a lot of crossover between design and dev, and it makes things so much easier.
@mollydotcom As a developer I feel it *vastly* improves life being able to communicate in design terminology. Makes life easier for everyone
@mollydotcom On the first, not necessarily. On the second, yes. Can design w/out knowing details of how it will work under the hood.
@mollydotcom But it makes things easier to build the functionality if you have a basic understanding of the whys of the UX/Design.
@mollydotcom yes and yes, if you want good product, you must know how things works :)
@mollydotcom As a developer, understanding our target persona is crucial for my decision-making.

@mollydotcom either that or to be able to work closely together so there is something of an understanding of why/how
