Deej, I know what you mean, and I pointed that there are exceptions. And it may work well on small jobs, but no real creative person will have an interest in dealing with bunch of code.
Even graphics have sub-specialties. For instance will a web designer be a good match for 3d gaming or interior designs? Web design is not what it used to be in early days, there is so many things you will never be able to be good in all of them. Would you expect a designer to model DB schema for web apps? its all web so should be no problem, right?
I have dealt with some designers coming from print-shops to the web side - damn man I tell you they're limiting themselves in color selection and composition when doing web graphics although their print jobs are awesome.
Focus on one thing, you will get good at it and you will have a line up of work wanting exactly what you're proficient at without trying to score any gigs and doing mediocre level of eveyrthing (no pun intended, just a general observation)
