I think one solution is to stop searching for people with magical titles who claim to do everything with a wave of their UX wand, and instead assemble teams of awesome people who can work well with other awesome people.

A kickass designer + kickass developer [+ kickass writer] will create a better user experience than a self-proclaimed "UX designer/developer/guru" any day.

I believe hiring the best is the desire of all employers, but software people, of abilities big and small, are in short supply in today's marketplace.

I mean, if you are really going to set out to hire only the best, why even look at people who are just a designer or developer? Why not hire the person who is kickass at designing, developing, and writing?

Someone who has intimate knowledge of all areas of software development is going to build a better product than three people who are only skilled in their limited subsets.
