Design engineering has no fixed definition, and social media makes it look like little more than building animated eye-candy components. Day-to-day work leans heavily on invisible priorities like accessibility, responsiveness, performance, and the edge cases only real users surface. A great experience often comes down to unglamorous effort, like spending an afternoon on an accessibility fix or making a landing page load slightly faster.
