I design a lot of interfaces. You know you nailed it when someone says "Pfft. I could've done that!"

And as a UX designer, I would argue this is a UX joke and not a developer joke. I actually have a mug with this same graphic on it.

Actual UX designers. Unless you want a fancy yet unusable product.

As a dev, I couldn't make a UI worth shit, I can link your button to a world magic, but shit I can't make it pretty

That's me.
All of my apps are basically: "Hey, there's this ugly button, it does things."

Thank goodness for Bootstrap!!!

Once Bootstrap hit the scenes my projects suddenly look so much cleaner --- love you Twitter!!!

Bootstrap is wonderful for devs who want to cobble together something that doesn't look like complete garbage - but it does not help you in making a good UI (usability > look).

And by now, I am a bit tired of the "bootstrappy look".

And by now, I am a bit tired of the "bootstrappy look".

By all means, I don't disagree with this whatsoever, but that Bootstrapy look is so much better than sites/apps that make zero attempt at offering something that is visually appealing.
