Hi Elle, I think what may help you is focusing on getting your developers to achieve empathy for your users. One of the best ways to do this is to involve them with your usability testing. Watching four or five people painfully struggle through a user test is extremely motivational to anyone watching: developers/managers/designers/etc
Otherwise, a developer without empathy may not be able to rationalize a difficult technical hurdle if they think the product is fine. -Cyrus www.twitter.com/ckarbass . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
