I've wondered if engineering/CS undergrads should be forced to take a Design 101 class to learn:
* design is everywhere
* having a sense of taste is vital to anyone who makes things
* end users are severely affected by every design decision you make
I run into too many engineers that try to disregard the subjective aspects of development (architecture/UX/etc) because they believe the only worthwhile things are the logical ones.

- tomjen3 15y agoI don't think the engineers disregarded everything that is not based on logic, but any good engineer will disregard everything that somebody believes, feels or thinks is the right solution unless they can give a good, well reasoned argument. Most design people aren't happy about that level of scrutiny, but that is something they should do, as it will improve their craft.
