I started writing code as a classically trained designer after my first layoff from an agency many years ago... Something you learn once you cross over, is that this isn't new. A little research and I can start listing design firms that have been around since the late 1980's that promote this multi-disciplinary approach, designers who code, programmers who paint, etc. Years later;once I picked up heavier languages, from a designers point of view, programming is broken. Point and click is not ideal but slugging through pages of non-human language is worse. Faster at times... but not a solution. Flame away, that's just my opinion from an outsiders point of view.
