I agree with this, and don't disagree with anyone who says that designers should learn SOME code — enough to understand how development works and what is possible, how to communicate design intention etc.
I think, too, that good relationships and communication with developers in a collaborative effort will suffice, however. Developers appreciate being considered a meaningful part of the process and being collaborators, not just grunts who execute design.
