Why are there no "standard texts" on designing software interfaces? (or tell me I'm wrong?)
If you want to learn to *build* software, there are excellent and complete texts on the subject. It's not just a tech-vs-art thing: there are standard texts on type, drawing, color, etc.

One interpretation: that's a type error; UX design isn't about doing fundamental research and invention. It's about using standard practices to solve business and customer problems.
As to the interpretation you probably mean: there isn't one.

Really? That sounds like the opposite of everything I love about software design.

It's not the interpretation that drives my work either, but it sure is a common one!
