I liked most ideas, but especially this sentence: You think designers 'being picky' is ruining your life.
As a front-end developer, you must also care about the design, have some kind of liking towards good UX and be a partner to the designers.

Yes! The 'being picky' resonates with me since I know developers who were at wits' end dealing with designers (generally, back-end developers finding themselves doing front-end work). Part of that frustration can come from not seeing eye-to-eye with the designer (sometimes designers can get stuck on something after staring at their design for so long), but it can also be the developer doesn't have that eye for detail or the language to communicate effectively and so gets frustrated.
