As a novice web dev and designer, I hear a lot of people saying that a web designer should have code skills.
One perspective is in a perfect world the dev and design should be separate, you have a shit hot designer and shit hot developer.
But then their is that argument that a designer should know code so they can understand how their design will take shape and how it will be approached as a developer.
But doesn't that cause a bigger problem of working within the limitations of your software?
You should design it to best suit it's purpose irrespective of the build process.
I suppose that sounds ok, but in practice your gonna have some sweaty developer dribbling "it can't be done arrggh" at your desk every 5 minutes.
