I will definitely keep this link handy the next time I have to explain myself :P I have found a degree in Computer Science, and the skill set of a developer, to be more of a handicap than a blessing when looking for the right jobs. Outside of the startup world, people tend to think that if you can code, you are best put away in a murky corner and left alone while other people determine the direction of the product. Interaction and User Experience design is then left to people with a background in graphics design. Just because you cannot code, does not mean that I cannot design. In the end it is more about skills than about roles though. I think having some passion about design and your user makes you a better developer and having some years of programming experience under your belt makes you a better designer.
