Agreed and up-voted. I think that is what I was trying to say in my rant. I guess as a developer though it's hard to come to terms with the fact that you are creating crap.
I went through the same thing when I was a musician so it stings doubly.

But all things equal, a good product person can make do with shitty developers. Good developers can never overcome shitty product design. If you want to design apps, go to school for design.
For most sites I really miss the blocky header+sidebar-nav+footer-fallback-nav trend of 2006-2012. Fast, efficient, predictable. Current design trends are much worse to use for most purposes. But, of course, if I see a site still using the former design, I assume bad things about it until proven otherwise (at least until I see a recent date associated with something) and I'm not inclined to trust them with any money.
