Maybe I haven't been clear enough, sorry.

The title of this post implies that if you're a programmer automatically you are a poor user interface designer.

To me this is offensive to both programmers and designers.

These are just narrow-minded stereotypes, perpetuated by narrow-minded people.

The title and content of the post state that, if the UI is terrible, then it was (probably) created by a programmer. They do not say the converse, nor does the converse automatically follow (the converse being: if the UI was created by a programmer, then it is terrible).

Doesn't make much difference to me.
