I am a full-time Creative Director who likes to tinker with writing web apps, mostly front-end development. I leave most of the heavy lifting to the real hackers.

Same here. I am a CD professionally, but I like to hack in my spare time. I have made a few sites in Rails etc., and I find HN to be very helpful.

I'm a web designer. I usually skip the programming news, but still come here to read about other topics. There's a bunch of smart people here.

I started as a designer, now I mostly do development. Flash ActionScript was my gateway.

'HN Designers': would not be nice to have a HN clone just about web design? UI is in the same way important as backend code and infrastructure we talk about mostly here
