It doesn't surprise me in the slightest. As a long time designer/developer (but mostly developer,) I couldn't even ballpark how many haughty oblivious decrees I've heard from other developers that entirely disregard non-dev skillsets, especially in the creative fields. When working in a design role, developers consistently assume greater knowledge of my specific work, and my field in general, than most other designers do. It's infuriating. Dunning-Kruger at its finest. The worst part about that phenomenon in online fora is the scores of equally oblivious people itching to click that reply link and confidently back up the first ignorant comment with their equally uninformed suppositions presented as fact. I wonder how they'd react if Joe from sales interrupted them at every meeting confidently declaring that they were doing their jobs wrong, "backing it up" with assumptions and misgivings that any developer could instantly identify? I wonder how they'd react if after calling him out, he justified it by saying he should know because he's worked with developers for years? That is why designers don't contribute to open source projects.
