Matt, thanks for your comment! I completely agree with you. We analyzed about 1000 job specs, and even now they all reflect the high demand in technically-skilled designers. Most likely, this tendency will only grow. It's not obligatory for a designer to be a pro coder, but to stay competitive, they have to learn the basics.

BTW, we're going to perform the same research at the end of 2019 to compare the situation on the market :)
