Asking devs to document what exists so UX can have a reference to do their job is crazy… Right up there with UX not knowing how to check accessibility for their color choices.

My coworker deleted a bunch of files, opened a PR. I reviewed and found that he deleted some things that should not be deleted. He said, "I did this programmatically and am surprised the computer made a mistake, I thought computers don't make mistakes..."
