I can see the difference between a designer and a developer; as many
developers don't have enough aesthetic sense to make it look pleasing...
I don't see much other distinction other than people who are
non-developers being punted at developer rates... I could dwell more on
this, but I will, at risk of offending ways certain companies arrange
themselves... or the whole concept of division of labour and hierarchy
altogether!
A developer/consultant needs to know hardware, config, systems, module
development, scaling... etc. Designer needs to know the designing stuff,
and the developer should be able to put that together or perhaps a third
person to do that -- but a developer should be able to do that. I don't
believe in the sort of division of labour that you are talking about as
it adds tons costs and takes the joy out of development.
Regards,
Sami
