i was just reading something about devs switching to ux and it's kind of nice to see someone acknowledge that visual aesthetics are only a tiny slice of what we actually do. it's all about the logic and how people handle things like error messages or even help chatbots, which is basically just problem solving in a different language. i love the idea that debugging complex architecture uses the same brain muscles as mapping out user journeys or prototyping. still, i wonder if developers struggle too much with the
subjective nature of usability compared to the concrete rules of code. it feels like they'd be great at the technical side but might find the lack of a binary pass/fail state really frustrating. do you think having that implementation background makes it harder to let go of how things "should" work technically?
