The Problem with Design Is Designers
- gregjor 5y agoThis article holds up if you replace “design” with “programming” and “designers” with “programmers.” > And yet, few things are as sacred to[programmers] as process. To which I say, a process is only as good as its fit to the user. [Programmers] continually evangelize procedures [languages, best practices, productivity] with the belief that they will and should work for everyone, when what they actually know is that they work for them. That knowledge is good. But it is self-knowledge masquerading as procedural expertise. Substitute “developer” or software engineer” if you like, makes no difference.
