UX ripped off skills from different majors and combined them together to form a new job: usability from designers, planning and organizing and wireframing from project managers, testing from QA and test groups, and prototyping from developers.

this leaves managers with traffic between sales/clients, designers, UX bullshitters and developers. It leaves designers with making the wireframes look better. It leaves developers with production work.

UX developer: "we should do this and this and this." Developer: "yes master"

To me UX is a set of skills that designers and developers should learn and earn. That what makes a Designer and a Developer: SENIOR. What is seniority then? Speed? CEO: "Yes this is our senior designer. He can design a website in 5 minutes. He's senior because he knows all Photoshop shortcuts and is fast with the tools. By the way, his designs look nice and he follows everything the UX Designer tells him to."
