Design Tool Startup Bets on Collapsing Designer-Developer Divide, Not Improving It

London's Dessn raised $6 million this week for a platform letting designers and developers work directly in production code rather than across separate tools.

This philosophy shift suggests successful adoption may require organizational restructuring, not just tool replacement.
