Would you say #6 and #7 are true generally, or Joshua's opinion?

To avoid inefficiency I find having people 'jigsaw-puzzle-piece' shaped helps - it means they're not always waiting on Bob on the desk over there to do the task that's blocking them (even if that task is only "Export an item from a PSD").

#6 is just semantics. Multi-purpose people are great. Rare and exceptional people are great. Designers who can code are great. What does it matter what you call them?
