And the derisive contempt against designers on HN continues.

Maybe the tone was a little off-the-cuff, but mjolk has a valid point. You can't implement the idea without some sort of coding. Design alone doesn't cut it, and I say that as someone that has a lot of respect for designers.

I have a design background, I agree with mjolk's point as well.

Designers are fine, but don't tell me that a render is nearly as useful as a prototype.

Please though, if you disagree with me, open a dialogue. As an technology investor, who would you rather fund?

Just because you're a designer doesn't mean you shouldn't have cofounders that can code and do some of the hustling. That's why the hacker/hustler/designer paradigm exists...

i don't think those are the kind of designers they're talking about, for the most part.
