As a software developer who has at times thought that as long as the user interface is functional by the engineering definition that it is good enough, I've found it enlightening and interesting to go to local CHI (Computer Human Interaction) meetings where UX professionals present to one another. Programmers are a commodity but programmers who can understand and create user-friendly interfaces are less of one.

Alas, it didn't make me a fully functional UX professional or even competent, but it did make me consciously incompetent, and that was valuable early in my career. http://torchi.org/ http://torchi.org/ Now that I think about it, what was valuable then that isn't valuable now? I just rejoined!
