Don't let programmers design software (Score 0)

If there's one thing worse than letting users design software it's letting programmers do it. Whilst users may not always know what they want, they have a damn sight better idea than code monkeys, many of whom seem to have a pathological hatred of those who might actually use and consequently criticise their product. Look at this way: you wouldn't ask a bricklayer or a plumber to design your house, would you?
