[Sigia-l] IA's Responsibility

[David (Heller) Malouf]

you can be "against" the idea, but it doesn't mean it isn't true.
Engineers and designers go through different training and there are
different modes, processes, and tools that they use. there are deep
cultural differences.

Same for developers and designers. Just b/c you want to be a jack of
all trades doesn't mean that the trades don't exist. Creating truisms
for their own sake, sounds like a "Bushism".
