Why can good programmers claim to be both good at writing and design whereas writers, under that taxonomy, are only good at writing? Isn't good writing inherently a type of good design, in terms of presenting an "interface" to the reader and adroitly arranging the elements?
I meant only to equate the core skill set of the three. Programmers aren't necessarily good writers of literature or designers of graphics, but neither are writers necessarily good writers of software, nor artists good designers of it.
