I don’t think we hate designers. I think they are great.
The best designers are those who are absolute maniacs at trying to figure out the essentials, ensuring every little thing has a purpose, design that helps the user get their job done. It’s fast, it’s simple, it’s readable and delightful.
I think what I as a dev loathe is bloated design, animations without a purpose, megabytes of crap that slow things down. Those social sharing buttons no one clicks.
I have a job to do, I have little patience, don’t make me feel like an idiot. Just get the job done.
