All of these "coders must learn design" articles ignore the fact that most programmers are not web developers and that sizable chinks of the industry simply never touch frontend code at all.
For a lot of developers there is little career incentive to develop design skills.
- studiofellow 14y agoThat's a great point that I hadn't considered. However, backend code does affect user experience, and having an understanding of design goals will help vet features and decisions.

Which is interesting since I generally find that there are more developers interested in design, than designers interested in code. In fact I asked HN about this earlier today!
