Feedback is no less helpful than code. The 0.25 version of MythMusic is a
pretty sterling example of this. The new interface is pretty much unusable and
there were some pretty bad database issues. Some developers like to think that
they don't need anyone else even when it comes to their own requirements but
that's ultimately a wrongheaded approach.
Even a developer can benefit from considering their tool from someone
else's point of view.

You don't need to be a code monkey to contribute to design or testing.
