And you are an Engineer! You won't listen to anyone else. Whenever anybody tries to provide you with advice you will put forth your own arguments why your design is better. You lack the ability to distinguish 'which idea is better' so you consider all ideas junk.

The sorry thing is that if you just took a few minutes to do some research and opened your mind to suggestion you would learn a lot and your software would improve.

As the CEO of a software company we often have this problem with companies we have acquired. We have even fired lead engineer for some projects and taken his 'baby' away from him because he refused to make the product user friendly. When the engineers in the world realize that without the marketing guys their salaries won't get paid software industry will be a better place.

By the way. I am an engineer and a marketing guy.
