"if they also learn writing code, something has to give"
Disagree. This is a false limit, and a false criticism rooted in ignorance and lack of experience. I don't know what else to say other than as a designer with a CS degree, I actually take offense to this statement. I know how much greater value I offer and would like other designers and programmers I work with to reach similar levels of integrated skill.
Specialization is for the industrial revolution—the technological age requires expert polymaths.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoIf it wasn't clear, CS in my previous post meant adobe creative studio, not computer science. I just realized these acronyms clash. Designer have lots of skills, so much that even they have to specialize often along additional axises that might not even be obvious to us (motion or color design as a specialization of visual). We are happy to just get one who has promising design skills, and most of the designer+programmers I've interviewed just don't even come close, sorry. How many programmers can draw? Is it a hiring requirement?
