There will always be someone at a lower level than you. As a systems programmer he pokes fun at UX people. It is indeed hilarious. But technology and science is all about collaboration and building on other people's work. Remember that a generation ago nobody could be expected to use a program successfully without reading documentation first, and this even included most games. The proliferation of computers into the hands of everybody at your local bus stop is as much because of the work of the HCI people as the systems people. A chip designer could write a similar rant about how systems programmers live a life of luxury sipping champagne with their pinkies held up. YOU USED AN ASSEMBLER? I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY! Or a chip designer could be mocked by someone else because he uses verilog. Or the UX researcher could scoff at the systems programmer, because at least CPU's are rational and predictable, while people are at varying levels of intelligence and have different kinds of cultural biases.
