There is a debate happening on Reddit where someone is making the point that you can't really be a UX designer without strong visual skills.
Is #UX really just 'mostly doing visual stuff' now?
Of course visual design skills help. UX Designers juggle many skills. But to say that you MUST be great a visual design in order to succeed in the job market feels entirely off to me.
Most companies have both UX, Visual designers, AND researchers (among other things)
