      Software devs also hate UX/UI Designers.
      And Product Owners.
      And Scrum Masters.
      And Software Architects.
      And Security/Compliance Managers.
      And QA Testers.
      And worst of all… Software devs.

        I would never be able to explain coherently the difference between UX and UI people. I’ve only worked for one company that even had a UX guy on staff. He was paid an insane amount of money (close to half a mil per year) and as far as I could tell did absolutely nothing except insist that certain procedures be followed rigorously. He never designed anything at all himself.

        He was the only coworker I’ve ever had who ended up refusing to speak to me or even acknowledging my existence. This came about because I wrote a TV Guide-type app for Blackberry which our client loved and insisted on having added to their corporate app. The UX guy insisted that no app could be produced unless it was preceded by a formal design document, so he was forced into the situation of having to produce a design document for an app that had already been written, which completely broke his brain. Or rather, he was forced into ordering someone else to do this, since as I mentioned he never actually did anything himself.

        He eventually left because he got a job offer for way more money lol. I guess I shouldn’t make fun of somebody who had the system figured out far better than me.

        And themselves from a month ago…

        … when they said to themselves "This little piece of code is fine, I don’t need to change it now. I’ll just refactor it later. "

        Some of us are real go-getters and realize we can bring the farm to us long before we retire! I am currently typing this on my Linux couch computer wearing lightweight clothes with literal dirt smeared on them, on a dinner break before I return to the back yard and continue today’s construction project. Sometimes being a “farmer” also means becoming a carpenter!

        Granted, it works much better for the suburban homeowner than anybody living in a city and/or an apartment.

        And when I refer to myself as a “farmer,” all my animals are family pets cared for as a hobby. There is 0% business plan. Well, probably negative %. When we have too many animals (usually too many fish in the pond) we give them away for free!

          That does sound nice, but in writing this from my work from home location right near to the beach. But my second choice would be someplace with a lot of woods and some good star gazing.
