Hey, just wanted to put in my 2 cents... A person who can straddle the fence equally is the exception. We're talking about expert knowledge in both, right? To expect this as the norm seems unreasonable.
Personally, I think I've done a pretty good job at keeping up with my front-end coding and visual design skills to stay serviceable, but to expect that products can be built around my code? No way. And to think my design will be highly compelling to draw users in? I dream, but I know my limitations. My company doesn't depend on me for those things. Right now I'm great at thinking about the interactions and creating the flows, wires, and specs to support them. That doesn't mean I can't do the others, just that this is my primary role and skill. In the end, something will suffer and that's not just limited to your professional skills. Everything requires time and there's only so much of it. Seems pretty obvious to me. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
