The design world is heavily tied to fashion, trends and business, hence your idea of designers as secretive ego-guzzlers. The design world is open enough in certain areas, once you find them, on the surface from far away I understand why you have that image of the design world. Dribble and Forrst are circle-jerking hell holes. Critical discussion on design doesn't happen very well online, because, everyone thinks they're a designer. California University being a recent example. Design has a shit brand online unless you know where to look. Bloody lol at your Dieter Rams, Jonathan Ive quip. They were famous before people asked them for their design values to big-up in the media. But you raise a good point, the design world is very different to the developer world and hacker values could very well be valuable if implemented in the design world, just not sure how one would go about such things.
