Hi all

I really have appreciated your viewpoints and perspectives on matters in 
the past, and am collecting great stuff to help me out.

But the above has me kinda puzzled.

Isn't there a "difference" between Designers and Programmers? I mean, my 
work is best described as Design work, even tho' I also can code in HTML 
and Javascript and CSS. But when it comes to databases, I turn to a friend 
who is a programmer and database developer who works in various languages, 
from PHP to Perl to C++ to older languages. We just don't think the same 
way, which is why we make a good team.

So, why do companies ask for Designers that program? Or web programmers 
that also design the look and feel of a site? Are they just wanting a 
person who is good at everything? Or am I missing something when it comes 
to the work of designing a web site?

I guess, consider me clueless on this subject, because it doesn't make 
sense to me... and I sure hope what I wrote makes some sense to you all.

Thanks for your input. It really has been appreciated.
