Advocating for Dev Mode changed my team’s workflow. Here’s how you can do the same.

Imagine you’re given a design file. You’re clicking around, trying to figure out the margin values, when you accidentally nudge a button out of place. You hit “undo” only to discover that you didn’t actually move anything—but now you’ve erased someone else’s work. Panic sets in, and you start apologizing to your design peers for potentially messing up “their” file. You feel like a bull in a china shop.
