Great article, though I would take it one step further and strongly nudge more designers to take on more engineering roles (as many engineers also work to broaden their skill set).
Will Miner spoke about web designer as a hybrid between designer and developer at Build: http://vimeo.com/7835308
I feel like I’ll probably be a designer at heart, but I still want to learn as much dev-stuff as possible. I’m going to use Django for my personal portfolio, simply for the sake of learning it. I’m really looking forward to it. :)
Generally people need people of other disciplines. Developers need designers as well, and we all need copywriters for instance.
