If you are a programmer on a large site you won't touch the design. It will be done by a skilled designer, or designing firm. You won't care how its done whatsoever.

There is a lot more to say here...but basically you won't touch the design. Or want to. Or care how its done :)

Boy, would I love to never have to think of XHTML/CSS.

The reality has always been quite different.
