It's probably worth it to remember that until very recently, Google required 
it's UX leads to be capable of producing production ready HTML, Javascript, 
etc.  Is Google not serious about UX?  Let's be serious here...

As you can tell from my signature and email address, I'm a MS employee, so I 
may be a little biased.

While it's frustrating, as a UX practicioner, to see some of the language used 
in the postings, I will say that the organization as a whole is getting the 
importance of UX as a strategic discipline.  Office 2007 is an indicator, as 
well as the fact that the office team is now leading the development of the 
next generation of Windows.

Thanks.  Will.

Um... any company - that asks a UX person to think about code is not
serious about UX.
