No, it's just amusing how hypocritical you are. You can be a designer and a developer, but nobody else can?
You:
> Developers shouldn't expect themselves to be able to do good design work
Also you:
> Having worked as a professional software developer in a reputable development organization for over a decade with steady advancement before I decided to go to school for design is a good enough indicator for me.
- DrewADesign 4y ago> Developers shouldn't expect themselves to be able to do good design work any more than designers should expect themselves to be able to make scalable, reliable, maintainable, production-ready code. Reread that sentence. It does not say developers can't do good design work and it doesn't say that designers can't write good code: it says they shouldn't expect to simply be able to do it. Nobody should expect to be able to do anything non-trivial they haven't deliberately learned how to do. Unless you have evidence that most developers have done the years of learning it takes to become a competent interface designer, that's just not a controversial statement. If you're going to continue trawl my comment for minutia to be aggrieved by instead of making any coherent counterargument, you're on your own.
