I can't down vote this but I really wish I could. As someone else pointed out this comment seems driven by malice more than anything else...

"Let me tell you what a UX developer is. UX developers are people that couldn't find themselves neither as designers or as developers and got stuck in between."

While I find your tone particularly hateful, this is about as close to being the best definition of how I see a UX developer/designer, without the derogatory tone of course. They are people who want to be involved in the earlier stages of a project, and want to know about the technical aspects of the problem and the design or brand constraints, and are suitably equipped to deal with the people whose job it is to solve the intricate details.

If you are a developer who can turn out a decent user interface, (maybe on a web app you were left to do the settings page), or a designer who can prototype in Javascript to show how modals windows work - congratulations, that is UX - converging the different disciplines to create a whole. Someone who works more in doing that and deals less with the nitty gritty of one or the other is just doing it more, (and probably better for the time and experience they have). Thats not to say because they don't do the nitty gritty that they can't, (although I'll admit my design skills trail off before my technical skills do), its just they are more interested in leaving it to others.

[Aside: I am a technical guy who has moved much more towards doing prototyping and UX work. I find alot of the comments in this thread pretty insulting since they all are assuming I am either a shite designer or shite developer.]

You can read something written the way you want; No I don't like people with titles because eventually they're over-paid to do nothing. User Experience, the way its spreading now and the way UX people are trying to force things, is a way to make things look alike. A strategy created by big corporations to make their work easier. Where are the customization features every website had a couple of years ago, where people can create their own UX? Ah, someone thought he can tell us how to "experience" better. Sorry, I'm too sarcastic but that's how I see UX. Can you convince a Chinese not to eat with chopsticks because you think that people that eat with forks and spoons are having a better experience? Think again!
