I am also designer who codes, and like the author was classically trained but switched to digital medium. You are hundred percent right, designers who cannot comprehend UX part of the medium will never be able to deliver interactive experiences, they always will see web design like it was in early 2000, visual first. But there are small portion of us that uses design language for functional purpose, we care for UX first. The visual part of designing a layout is moving away from focus, its more important to make original illustration, compelling video or audio. PS> The funny part is that those print layouts are broken in current web with 80 percent mobile web consumption:)
