Discussion
In this book, author describes common problems that plague the world of software design. It says programmers belong to a separate species homo logicus instead of homo sapiens. Programmers make really good programs that are meant for other programmers. Their differences in perception with the rest of humanity however can cause problems when the software is not meant for them.
Author points out that programmers are running the show most of the time when it comes to designing how a user interacts with a program. The author shows that this has negative consequences on the finished product because either the programmers are taking shortcuts in UI design or misinterpreting what the users desire.
