She has it all wrong!
Figuring out what users want and need is her job (or my boss').
Implementing it (yes, writing the code!) is my job.
If what I make is not what the users want it's her fault for not specifying it well enough (well, could still be my fault if I didn't read her specs thoroughly).
If what I make does not work, creates wrong output, is buggy, etc. then, yes, it's a code issue and I am to blame.
It's easy to say everything is the programmers fault...

Unless she wants some well paid and talented engineers with low social skills to talk to users.
Yeah, real good use of resources...
