It is a little bit sad, but a little bit true. You can have an amazing artistic mind and know nothing about math or science or logic, and do some cool stuff on the front end. Sure after they write some html all kinds of stuff happens to it that involves computer science, but the dude writing the HTML doesn't need to do that.

In other fields it's well understood that it's important to encapsulate the real science and engineering bits inside standards and well characterized components. There are a lot of engineers and technicians that confine themselves to applying those to problems. Which is totally proper. And engineers that do the hard stuff tend to confine themselves to very narrow domains.

Somewhere someone is carefully designing the plumbing for a rocket engine the better to carry cryogenic hydrogen and oxygen. And somewhere a plumber is using a saw to cut a piece of ABS pipe the better to carry sh*t. Somewhere a computer scientist is working on a lockless database widget. Elsewhere a high school dropout is setting up a web page for a diner. It's all okay.
