Well my experience designing my App (an appstore for renting expensive software) both the UI and the programing side (My cofounder is an expert arquitect but it was hard for him to be in every standup as it was a side project for him), is that most programers are too centered in the internal workings. It's hard for them to see the picture from far away, as an user. So after talking long about a behaviour of the app in certain situations, I still found that some obvious (to me) UX pathways, were not obvious to them, because they were thinking in terms of internal functions and data base. This is not a critique, programing is hard, and while learning to code miself I've learned how different is the mindsetting needed to program from anything else. Also UI and UX are very hard, harder than I would have guessed. Specially hard is keeping an app light in steps and options. Removing all the innecessary guessing from users while keeping a familiar structure. I think that trying to refine UX is the first time I found misself tired of actually "thinking".
