Its fun to watch a bunch of programmers struggle with design. They're learning/blogging about pretty obvious problems that most designers don't even remember solving and usually fix subconsciously.
I personally find these blog posts a little boring. This was the kind of stuff I used to deal with as a designer daily for a media site 5+ years ago. And frankly, none of it is as hard as they make it out to be. They need to hire a good designer and be done with it.
- mncaudill 17y agoNo offense, but I don't think the post was direct towards you. It's like when Smashing Magazine puts out "here's how you write a 5-line JavaScript" function. The post is obviously directed towards designers with little programming knowledge/skill, and it would be boring to most programmers, but most of them realize that and don't litter the comments with "This is easy, I knew this when I was 12 years old. Just hire a developer." It's called spreading the knowledge and targeting different content at different folks.
