I've been argued that some parts of the design have been tested against users, and other parts of the design come from the authority of the designer, in the midst of "agile-based" decision making that drops huge, unspec'd components on yr lap mid-day at 3PM.
At the same time, no one is going to argue with yr Hypermedia hubris or API spec. =P
Or namespacings. Or syntax preferences. Or hacks.
Look, no One Person (or role) wins (or loses -- and none of this "dictatorship" sensationalism is really needful, methinks). It's all sausage factory at the end of the day. Just try to create enough black boxes before lunch so you have some dignity at dinner and can sleep after the midnight snack.
A CEO gently reminded me one day, "No one lives or dies by this." It's frustrating, not a "dictatorship." In just the same way that no one "killed the coffee"; and no your computer did not just "die." This sensationalist writing makes it difficult for us chill developers who just want to make a simple critique without having to be pigeon-holed with all the hyperbolic-complaint-machine because all of our critiques have the same content (this modal or that button) but the hyperbolic-complaint-machine suggests what's beyond frustration.
