I would argue that in actual medium to large production facilities there are people who are specializing in different tasks. You have your ADs, production ADs, programmers, concept designers and project managers etc. Freelancers and people trying to get to the industry are normally forced to do multi-tasking. It is not a bad thing at all. It gives you insight and the option to do variety of work later on. You need to be aware that you either have to put the energy into managing the co-operation with others who know different disciplines or just learn bit of everything. It is true that tech eye-candy can be overwhelming, but I think you need to understand that none of the guys mentioned in your posts propably did any of the things over night. They had to come with ideas first and then be able to pull it off by working like maniacs. Even in production environments you're in a situation where you have to somewhat undestand what the underlying technology is capable of, before you can do concept design on top of it. It is not only web design that has this problem. Same thing will be in your face in ceramics, industrial or any other design form.
