    Software devs also hate UX/UI Designers.
    And Product Owners.
    And Scrum Masters.
    And Software Architects.
    And Security/Compliance Managers.
    And QA Testers.
    And worst of all… Software devs.

      Software devs also hate UX/UI Designers.

      I would never be able to explain coherently the difference between UX and UI people. I’ve only worked for one company that even had a UX guy on staff. He was paid an insane amount of money (close to half a mil per year) and as far as I could tell did absolutely nothing except insist that certain procedures be followed rigorously. He never designed anything at all himself.

      He was the only coworker I’ve ever had who ended up refusing to speak to me or even acknowledging my existence. This came about because I wrote a TV Guide-type app for Blackberry which our client loved and insisted on having added to their corporate app. The UX guy insisted that no app could be produced unless it was preceded by a formal design document, so he was forced into the situation of having to produce a design document for an app that had already been written, which completely broke his brain. Or rather, he was forced into ordering someone else to do this, since as I mentioned he never actually did anything himself.

      He eventually left because he got a job offer for way more money lol. I guess I shouldn’t make fun of somebody who had the system figured out far better than me.

      And themselves from a month ago…

      … when they said to themselves "This little piece of code is fine, I don’t need to change it now. I’ll just refactor it later. "
