Comment on The “designers should code” bullshit and a not so new idea

Comments

Once again, as a web developer, I do NOT want to work with a designer who has no clue how html and css work at all.

It's insulting to say that it's not important.

Do you expect an architect to not understand how the materials they're designing with work? or what the building codes are?

Not expecting a web designer to understand how html and css work is like letting a painter tell someone who knows illustrator where to put all the lines.

I also want to make it clear, that i did NOT list javascript or php in there at all. Nor did I say they should actually write the markup, just that they know how it works, and what is possible.
