As a developer, I'm only too aware of my limitations in the design-world. Give me requirements, and I'll make it work.

If I'm left to guess at what you want, it'll be a waste of time because you're not happy with my interpretation in many cases.

Respect me as a developer by doing your homework and telling me what you need (please!).

I think the main distinguishing personality trait between developers and designers is that designers actually enjoy the exploration and experimentation process of design. Developers can do it but they clearly don't enjoy it.

The same could be said for many designer's view of development. Even if they are capable, they clearly do not enjoy spending the majority of their day solving problems, chasing edge cases, and learning more languages/paradigms/patterns/etc.
