Sorry if I came off that way. I am confident in my abilities to create awesome interfaces but I still have a lot to learn and a lot of time/practice to put in. My original comment was meant to be from the viewpoint of a "desingineer".

I know the article is probably referring to someone who is equally talented in development as they are design, able to create the backend along with the frontend, but I feel that being able to implement my designs in Windows Presentation Foundation, ExtJS, JQueryUI, Wordpress, etc make me a desingineer as well.
