[...] Heureusement, Emil Stenström vient de sauver ma vie sociale avec son billet Why you should date a front end developper et sa définition du métier de webdesigner : These are the people that get frowned upon for being bad programmers, lousy designers, and for knowing too little about usability. Truth is, they still they manage to ship sites that actually work. They tend to be good at coding, but not in the way programmers are used to.

Excellent article! I found myself looking for characteristics of all of these in the people in my office (I’m one of the designers, and yes, totally fits my character), and found them all to be fairly true.

Great break from the more “serious” articles!
