This might be off topic but I feel that it is much easier for a designer to learn coding than for a developer to learn design. Anyone shares this feeling?

- rrreese 14y agoThe things I see all the time are "learn to program" tutorials that go through in a very formulaic way and explain programing. I haven't seen any such things for design (and would love to).
- jongold 14y agoI think we've just not done a good enough job of providing resources to teach people design. Notable exceptions like http://hackdesign.org/ http://hackdesign.org/ excluded, It's either 'go to uni for 3 years' or 'figure it out yourself'
- mnicole 14y agoDitto. Unfortunately, the type of people who have the skills worth teaching are often not the ones doing the teaching. Being primarily non-designers who don't know any better, HN users are often quick to upvote posts regarding design and take these people up on their offers, despite the fact that -- as many of these posts are by people who are merely trying to get their name out there -- they could be doing themselves a disservice by listening to someone who is just trying to promote themselves rather than promote good design practices.
