Programmers do actually make suckier interfaces than other people

Published 5 February 7 1:56 AM | William

Aaron's post asserts that programmers aren't to blame for crappy UIs and I'm not sure he's right about that point. As a programmer and software user, I have to say that most of the truly terrible user interfaces I've seen in my life were not the result...
