There needs to be another comic that is called "when non-programmers create web sites" that shows a hipster expressing a clueless face when their site gets hacked because they didn't secure it properly. And also not understanding why their website can't keep up with demand as it grows because they didn't make it scalable.

I use jquery/flash to design blank screens all the time. Works great on server side.

Subtext: The naive programmer is trying to do something original that they have some misguided belief will ultimately improve the world. For this they are to be ridiculed.

Message: Be a 'creative' designer, buy an Apple, work for a funky marketing agency and build gloriously bland websites by cutting and pasting cliched stock images into photoshop. It's so much cooler and rebellious to help corporations monetize consumers.

Hehe, so true! Now we need one for when a dev actually tries to design a UI :)

No need for real UI or visual design, just slap "beta" on it and it's ok.

well i guess it just shows that you have to focus on one or the other. It takes forever to incorporate both. I guess design rules as long as there is some functionality to hold it up.

Wow this is cliche. The "programmer" in the comic is just a n00b.

So wait, programmers can't be designers or vice-versa?

Who created *that* totally artificial boundary?

Yeah, now let's see a Web site made entirely by artists: No database backend (what's a database? How do you make one in Photoshop?), no Javascript. Nothing but HTML and CSS with lots of Flash, autogenerated by Photoshop and/or Dreamweaver.

The top Web site in the world, Google, is written entirely by programmers, and it shows: The site actually does something.
