> [developers] are more factual and concrete whereas designers are usually more driven by emotion. I am so tired of this trope. Bad designers are influenced by emotion in unconstructive ways. So are bad engineers. I'm also tired of the "emotion == bad when doing engineering stuff" trope. The ideal for developers or designers (or a whole lot of other fields, probably excluding nuclear-launch executors and munitions testers) isn't some emotionless data/spec-driven automaton: it's a responsible person who operates pragmatically and calculatedly when they have enough information, and whose feelings/emotions are constructive and lead to good outcomes when information is scarce or snap decisions need to be made.
