I think that it is worse that most people who turn up for a Developer job are just programmers, have no design skills at all.

  Most development outside web front-end work doesn't particularly require end-user UI design skills.

    That is correct, of course (otherwise, I'd be unemployed!). But what you comment on might mean "design" as in "system architecture design"?

      I do indeed mean architectural design.

        Could you edit your post to make that clear? As it stands right now, you expect them to be able to do visual design work.

  This is actually a very well known problem: http://sourcemaking.com/antipatterns/the-grand-old-duke-of-york http://sourcemaking.com/antipatterns/the-grand-old-duke-of-y... Unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily end upon hiring either. Usually, the "implementationists" won't get the "abstractionist" point of view and will reject it immediately. And since they're more common, this can lead to bad ideas winning simply because everyone understands them.
