Designing good UX can be as difficult as writing good code.
Source: Im UI/UX designer and project manager and also QA/QC and also devops and also write the specs and documentation. The only thing I dont do is write the code, DB schema and architecture . The hardest of all those roles is UX. The easiest is project management ("Did anything go tits-up today? No? Well carry on, then ")
Biases: I have no formal training in any of those things and was actually hired as a helpdesk tech.
I am programmer turned "everything else around the code" doer. I constantly have to correct/suggest UI and UX improvements and it can be such a time sink to tell devs to change stuff for it...
Basic fundamentals of user experience design are not a given apparently. I'm sorry, you wanted to be able to tab through boxes? The enter key should work? Who would have thought it.
