A comment on The Idiot Line.

I am an engineer and I have built some rather impressive software in my time. However I grew up in design, I worked in design, my diploma says design. On what side of this line do I belong? I feel that not everything is as black and white as the author might suggest.

It's not a design vs engineering boundary; it's a competence boundary. Your boundary simply encompasses more knowledge, of more areas — and thus you don't fit the archetype the article talks about.
