This goes beyond UX: it affects API design, it affects communication within a team, documentation quality, etc. As a programmer who is able to put myself in others' shoes, it is deeply exhausting to have someone try to explain a new part of a system to me who doesn't have the ability to put themselves in my shoes. Leaving out key details left and right, foregoing analogies that in hindsight would have made things go so much more smoothly, phrasing things in ways that are very blatantly going to be ambiguous to an outsider's ears. It's probably not fair to judge simply because I personally don't have that issue, but it's one of the most frustrating recurring experiences in my professional life.
