However, the two often overlap. Most developers seem to have at least some design skills, and most designers seem to have at least some development skills. Of course, there are the gifted few who truly excel at both.
web designers are artists and web developers are engineers. there's very little overlap. now when some of us developers are forced to be designers, you get the kind of crappy work like www.yahoo.com
True, but these days there are a few core languages, concepts, and apps that [almost] everyone has to be familiar with in order to compete. I think Photoshop, vector graphics, animation, Javascript, PHP, database management, xHTML, and CSS is pretty standard issue for anyone who creates for the web.
Although, most people only learn just enough of the other side to fuck themselves over. I guess that's what you meant though when you wrote this.
