Yeah, the code is easy but navel-gazing and agonizing over the prettiest way to replace a long jumble of dash-separated lowercase characters with a slightly shorter jumble of dash-separated uppercase characters is an insane thing to spend any time on at all. Convince me this has any commercial value and isn't just bikeshedding. |

The resistance to it is part of why most engineer-types like HNers can't build UX. They think it's all agonizing and navel-gazing, so they don't deliberate over anything. And they don't practice it, so when they see someone making deliberate UX decisions, even trivial ones, they think it must have taken a lot of time.
Good UX comes from a chain of trivial-looking decisions in isolation and a culture of caring about it.
