I'm noticing a situation where the developer might feel like he's bossed around by the ux designer.

Today, screen sizes vary from a tiny iPhone5 to mega-desktop monitors. As the user changes their screen size, the app should fluidly adjust based on the ratios of the design. This is where you can stand out as an excellent UX designer. They love creating a great product, so they will love when you share your user research findings. Research the user base. Provide suggested break points in pixels based on how most users will be viewing the app and hand over mock-ups for each break point that are based on percentages, not pixels. UX designers often build with accessibility in mind, carefully choosing layouts and colour schemes to increase usability. Yet style guides still indicate font size in points, which is less accessible on the web. No matter what the engineering team decides to use, you have covered all your bases and made their lives a little easier. Developers use responsive container elements like Flexbox and Grid to easily handle the transition. While designers don’t need to know how to code with Flexbox or Grid, understanding how it works will make it easier to communicate with your developer teams, and create designs that work with this styling in mind. Trust me, your developer will thank you.
Recently, a designer lamented that her team could not implement a dark mode mock-up she gave them towards the end of a project. Developers are often judged by their output metrics, so when they balk at a design, it might be a time constraint issue. Understanding what Frontend Developers do at a high level and how HTML/CSS/JavaScript work together, will allow you to create easier to execute designs for the given timeline. Involving developers in the process right from the start will make the entire communication process better. Collaboration is a key part of creating thoughtful, beautiful apps that are accessible to all users.
