Re: [IxDA Discuss] Who codes your production HTML/CSS/JS?
I guess I'm just touchy. I've also followed that career trajectory, though I actually started with something more akin to über-traditional IA (building taxonomies for search), then made my way from back-end towards the front, now splitting time between front-end development and IA/IxD. I will say this, I think that the Bay Area has many more do-it-all developers/designers. My experiences as a dot-commer in SF actually made me into the generalist I am -- there was a much greater, um, respect (?) for the well-rounded geek. On the other hand, I've found that being a generalist is often scoffed at by development team managers in other places I've lived (including New York, and particularly at agencies). (On the other hand, it usually ends up earning generalists the respect of both fellow team members, as well as leaders of other teams. Go figure.) ~ yoni Jonathan S.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Who codes your production HTML/CSS/JS?
Richard, My experience, in both agencies and large corporations, is that the front-end team tends to be semi-autonomous, but organizationally closer (and often beneath) the back-end or systems teams. Ironic, since the good ones tend to be more philosophically aligned with Design teams. The level of ability varies greatly, but your question was implicitly condescending when you asked, "more than *just* HTML/CSS/Javascript." Besides the intricacies and broad design and SEO ramifications of quality HTML work, in today's web applications, Javascript is often the principal tool in creating rich internet application experiences. As such, empowered front-end developers are often more attuned to Design's wants/needs as well as the means to deliver on them. The only company type which I've found to take substantial advantage of this affinity is the start-up, but even then it's a total crap-shoot. ~ yoni Jonathan S.
