The role of a Good front end developer is far from that of a thankless code monkey. I feel that the design of anything interactive is more than what it looks like, its how it behaves. The front end developer is critical in facilitating interaction between user and interface, and turning a useless psd file into something real. Yes, a front end developer should have the visual acuity of a designer, but what some designers fail to realize is that this medium(interactive design) is plastic. Once an inDesign file has gone through a rip, plates burned, and is printed its done, forever. Once a PSD file has been authored in html and css, the design has only just begun. Browsers are all different, standards change, buttons do things. Anyways, my two cents.
Yo, Greggles, about to hop in the shower and head over!!!
p.s. What the hell is an interactive designer? someone one who interacts with their design application. lol
