I really like this take. I was mulling around a thought and I feel this might be a good place to validate it:

So I was talking about this with a friend, and I believe that there is an inclusivity to UX that most engineers don't seem to care about or have the patience for. A technological Darwinian mindset where if you don't get it, then you don't get it.

The UX designer holds everyone's hand as they run. The Engineer is the person in front telling you to keep up.
