Some of the points in this article ie: "at its core “good UX” just means “a good product”" is not true and shows that while this guy may be hip on the latest trends, has a solid enough grasp on some concepts, he is just starting out in the field and does not truly understand what designers do, what design is, and thusly he doubts the reason for "design" as he describes it (thus the reason for this post). Unfortunately this sort of thing gains traction because most of the internet, and in turn the HN readership, really dont understand design or how to talk about it. I really wish HN had more articles about design, but oft times it just flows into a diatribe about visual style, which is just one sub component of design.
