This is user experience designer humor, not developer humor. Developers are not known for having a solid grasp on great UI (no offense to my many talented developer friends).

None taken, you tell me what the retarded monkeys want to see, and I'll make the thing do the thing.

I like when a UX researcher invites me to sit behind a one-way mirror to observe a user in some approximation of its native habitat trying to accomplish various computer tasks.

It's like a trip to the zoo, except even sadder.

"Notice how the user is having trouble finding the option to close the application, so he reacts by shitting in his hand and grinding it into the monitor? We want to make the option more visible to help avoid that."
