Your question is Handling Harmful Animation Requests. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
How do you handle a situation where a designer proposes an animation that is highly detrimental to the app's frame rate and performance? Explain how you would assess the impact, communicate the trade-off, and work toward a solution without damaging the designer relationship. We are looking for a specific example that shows technical judgment, influence without authority, collaborative conflict resolution, and ownership of the user experience.
