Harsh but fair!

The problem is not so much the differences between UX and Engineering, but an embedded ‘blame culture’ or even worse a ‘clique culture’, which is counter productive and has arisen to hide incompetences at the foundation level.

I consider myself very fortunate to have not experienced the ‘friction’ between design and development to such an extent, though have seen it and know people have been pretty much ousted from a job because of it.

Agile has always seemed a good way of eliminating this, by creating a sense of responsibilty to the team and regular comunication, though obviously not in this case.

First time visitor here – though a very entertaining post!

Thank you
