Re: The coming predominance of user experience and technicalcommunications

the people who design them now?  Seems to me that some
of the worst SW I've tried lately has come from developers
claiming to be experienced in the same fields as the users
("SW by <insert occupation here> for  <insert occupation 
here>").
