      Haha! Exactly! I do some coding, too, but I can’t think like a UXer and a dev at the same time.

      It’s the “making it pretty” part that makes me bitter. That is the LEAST part of what we do.

      It’s like asking an architect to come in and fix the building after it’s already mostly built. Bad PMs insist on seeing us like interior decorators, but we are primarily architects.

        They don’t want to pay architect salary to do decorating work and I fully agree. Problem is that stuff like this are often overlooked until someone makes a fuss about it, costing PR. The other 90 % of the overlooked stuff is never found though so it’s still a good decision to skip stuff like this.

          I’d believe that, if they weren’t already paying the architect salary to have us do interior design. They hire us, then shackle us.
