Thanks for linking to my article. Sorry about the "Error establishing a database connection," but there's been a lot of traffic today. Please try back later if you didn't get through.

(And, no I didn't write that error message. :))

I received some feedback that my article was disrespectful to programmers. That wasn’t my intention—rather my goal was to explain why these are such easy traps to fall into if you are thinking about the code instead of your users. I’m a developer myself and I want to help other developers raise their UX game—in fact, I’ve built my business on training interaction design to non-designers. If you are a developer who wants to improve your UX design skills, please check out the rest of my site.

Ah, WordPress--You're great until you're not. :)

Great article, btw! Enjoyed the read. I do agree with others- A few pictures to go along with your examples would have been really helpful!!
