True, but you have to remember that a lot of 'newbies' are actually superb
graphic designers with a lot of experience developing static websites. They
are grappling with new demands from their customers for more dynamic
features. If they don't quite grasp the difficulty of what they are trying
to do, you can't blame them for trying to meet their customer's needs.
I know this, because I am working with a number of web designers who have a
hell of a lot more experience than I do with web sites, but they don't have
the programming background. Putting the shoe on the other foot, I could mess
with Photoshop for a hundred years and never get good at designing graphics.
So I have a lot of respect for what these guys do. Personally, I think it's
a great symbiotic relationship: programmers and graphics designers. Both
creative, but in entirely different ways.
I do agree that designers with paying gigs would do better to farm out the
programming stuff to a real programmer, but that's something that they need
to learn on their own, perhaps. Meanwhile, it doesn't hurt to answer a dumb
question or two, even if the answer has to be a respectful "you don't know
how big a question that is!"
Just my opinion.
