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...



It's perfectly reasonable to ask for a UX designer to have "production" skills 
such as HTML, CSS, and Javascript; it's also perfectly reasonable that a few 
designers will not have taken the detour to learn those skills.

I think the reactions came from the inclusion of C++ as a skills requirement. 
That's no detour, that's a completely different path.

As an aside, I'm curious as to why Google required production skills "until 
very recently." My guess is that, as someone on the list pointed out, it's more 
a problem of bandwidth than skill.
