"When women stopped coding" story about the drop in women majoring in CS

[PengsPhils]

AS wouldn’t simply be UX design because the UX penetrates into the core app code in several ways. You have multithreading for a smooth UI which has a huge impact on the core design. You have reporting meaningful errors to users which again requires good integration between the core and UI (typically, an error in the guts of the app code gets reported as some obscure or generic error). This would be a degree for someone intending to design and write code, not design UIs, create icons, etc.

I still don’t see the need for AS - why not have a UI/UX person to design the user flow, interface, graphics, layout, etc with a strong backing in psychology and more, and they communicate and work with the CS major how to make that for the front end user-facing code. That way the UI/UX person doesn’t also need to double in CS, and take away time from their specialty and value. What gap is there in that flow that AS must solve? What skill is missing there?
