One thing I've pondered a lot is where UX fits in the domain of software engineering. While we should certainly be open to new ideas, I think there is too much of a tendency to completely ignore the medium. Imagine if we did physical construction like this. Since building construction analogies are often used to describe software development, we can get a really good idea of what's wrong with neglecting the medium. Here[1], a UX designer ponders why we can't "deprecate" door handles, and asks why we can't simply rip out all load bearing door frames, which would incur great expensive and compromise structural integrity, all in service of removing a feature nobody wanted removed.
