I am not intentionally trying to be argumentative, but

- I have seen UX designers refer to a team of developers as "my developers" and I take it negatively.

- I have been into countless design sessions where the UX designers conducted a weird formalized session with cards, sorting, voting with colored stickers, and assigning equal votes to newly hired participants and senior domain experts. They were beyond stupid.
