> A web-designer who doesn't understand code is like a fashion designer who can't sew. Except there are successful fashion designers who rarely if at all sew, just like there are successful interactive designers who rarely if at all code. Do I think knowing how to code typically makes a designer a better designer than others? Yes. Do I think it's always that way? Hell no.
