    I'm sorry to say this, but we (designers and developers) often make our own lives harder by not properly educating clients from the get go, by doing extra work for nothing, and generally not valuing our time and sanity as our greatest assets.

    We give in to clients demands so that we can make the quick buck and get on with our lives, but long term all we've taught that client is that designers are computer operators, not experienced experts who (usually) know better.

    If we ever want to solve these clients problems we need to start acting like the professional experts we purport to be.

    Doctors, rocket scientists etc. don't get told how to do their jobs, so why should we?

    • Yes, I often compare myself to Doctors and rocket scientists in meetings. #winningETM
