Engineers often tend to build ugly products, I can agree. When I'm asked to build something, the first thing I tell is "just so you know, I build ugly things, but things that work"
The more interesting twist of the story would be to turn it around - what does it turn out like when designers code?
All in all, I think we have to accept that people are different and we need both designers, programmers and ux-ppl to make a product that works, looks good and is useable.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoWhat does it turn out like when designers design? It usually contain all the latest fads (Flat design? Custom fonts? Lots of white space everywhere?) It usually leaves out a lot of functionality that users already expect. You can only have so much functionality given the amount of white space and padding required by modern design! Of course you can iteratively make them produce useful result. Same is true for engineers.
