>I consider myself both a designer and a developer But do you consider yourself 'excellent' at both?

  But do you consider yourself 'excellent' at both? Do you know anybody who is expert in everything in design or development? If not, why does it matter if somebody chooses to specialise in a subset of design and development - rather than a subset of design or development.

    Read the OP title: 'Is it possible to become 'excellent' at both design and coding?'

      The answer is: yes.

      That seems like a very simplistic question, and adrian and seoxy are trying to explain why that is so. There are MANY facets within both coding and design. It would be simplistic to assume you could be excellent in all facets of either one (because they are so broad). So why can't it be possible to be excellent at certain aspects of both coding and design?

      I did read it. To answer the question we have to understand what it means to be "excellent" at design and what it means to be "excellent" coding, and what it might mean to be "excellent" at both. Judging from my experiences nobody is expert at everything in either domain... so what does it mean?
