    Speaking as a UX designer, probably because some “product manager” decided it was too expensive to override the auto- sort that was applied before the designer was brought in to “pretty things up.”

    There is no tone of bitterness in my comment, honestly there isn’t.

      Im sorry. Im a front end dev, i wish i could make everything pretty, but theres just too many meetings and too much process for everything to get much done.

        Haha! Exactly! I do some coding, too, but I can’t think like a UXer and a dev at the same time.

        It’s the “making it pretty” part that makes me bitter. That is the LEAST part of what we do.

        It’s like asking an architect to come in and fix the building after it’s already mostly built. Bad PMs insist on seeing us like interior decorators, but we are primarily architects.
