However, you can design things implemented in HTML/CSS without actually knowing anything about HTML/CSS. ;)

That's a nice metaphor, but no, we aren't saying that you are doing a job, and actually you don't know how do to it and you have someone else doing that for you. The plumber metaphor is flawed. I can tell you, because it happen every day. I

It's a wonderful quote, because it also says that before coding you might want to learn cognitive psychology, social psychology, gestalt theory, marketing, copywriting, information architecture, usability, economy, statistics, science of m

Please, try to understand that there are different kinds of people, intelligences, sensibilities and talents, and that what's easy and simple for someone, might be hell for someone else. Some professionals might do a more than excellent job

People are different. What takes you a month could take years to others. Don't assume that we have equal skills and talent. If you can learn how to write markup in a month... great! Good for you. :) Other designers, are still doing great, w

It's not fair, sorry. ;) I met plenty of designers that can't code, and they are doing great working in pair with developers. :)

The point is that we should stop to say that designers who can't code aren't valuable. Of course, and it's exactly the last part of the article, if you can code it's better. ;)

I suggest you to read the About page over that article then. ;)

by folletto 15y ago
That point is underlying the whole article. ;) What it tries to clarify - and well, it might have failed, of course - is that we should stop to simplify the problem as "designers should code", because not all designers should . But yes, al

I worked with lots of excellent designers that aren't able to write a single line of code. And still paired in a good team with a developer, they did marvels. :)

Again, I agree. The whole article isn't built on that dichotomy. It's just a sequence from a simple perspective to a more complex perspective, and actually ends saying that it's better if you are willing to expand your view, exactly like yo

I know, it's wonderful when you can do both, but I think it shouldn't be forced on everyone. Not everyone is a specialist, and not everyone is a generalist. Forcing one, or the other, is harmful. :)

by folletto 15y ago
Pigeon-holing? Quite the opposite. I'm making the difference between "should" and "could". That's exactly because not everyone is a specialist, neither I am, but at the same time not everyone is a generalist! :) Exactly like I'm saying in t

Kudos to you if you were able to do it. However, please, reach the end, it says the same thing. :)

Don't worry, there's nothing "after this". "Designers should code" exists only in the web design field. It's fair to suggest that "Designers that can code are better", but it's not a must in any way. That's the point. :)

Probably you never met amazing designers that can't even put a "." at the end of their sentences. People are different, with different mind, and intelligences. Forcing such a designer to "code" is just going to destroy his skillset, that ot

Yeah, that's a huge collection of communication problems, great. Exactly on spot. :)

by folletto 15y ago
You're right. Every discussion about "designers should code" always shows problem in teamwork and communication, not in coding skills. :) And even if as I was saying learning to code is a way to create these skills, like designing things is

Sure, not everyone agrees with his theory. However, that's not the point of the article. :)

Yes. Yes. And I can say that this happens in every field. Check this small interview to Erik Spiekermann about typography: http://intenseminimalism.com/2011/everybody-is-influenced-by...

I think that Buildwithme is instead an excellent website, with a good usability and it's one of the few websites that tries to break the taboo of "making an app of a webapp". And I think it delivers pretty well. Of course, it's not possible

Programmer-mentality is somewhat different from other mentalities, but it's still bound to simplicity laws. The technologies you are describing were already there, but it's not just a problem of technology, feature set or execution power. I

High-level: I mean something with a steep price tag, with maybe high margins for you. Something like "1000 users, 24/7 assistance" with a really high price. Or something less. However, I think that you should be able to offer also something

The video doesn't start - I know it could be a line problem, but it should me blazingly fast everywhere, since that's what you're using to sell your product. And once started, it's tiny! Also, excluding the video there aren't any screenshot
