I did a poc for a unit test tool once and I used materialize css just to sugar the ui before showing it to management. I added a lot of modals and some tooltips, and the chiefs were baffled. It took me no more than 3h to get it done.
Maybe you should try something similar. We need to be good at writing code, no doubt, but sometimes we need to be good at selling our ideas as well, and that means forgetting about what matters to us and focus on what matters to the user.
My friend said an intern designed this UI for an internal site.
No. Just... no
Product dev: We need a new volume slider for ou...
Dev: Say no more!

Yesterday I completed a transactions module that used an external payment processor, similar to PayPal. It was hard, but after few hours of trying out different options I finally managed to get it to work.
I decided to create a simple prototype UI without any styling just to show my progress to the manager and let him know that it's working.
His response? "yeah, that seems to work, but that UI is terrible and not appealing at all. Change that immediately and try to add more thought into your design"
I guess I won't be making prototypes any time soon
