The whole idea vs. execution model is wrong. It's not THAT separate different things.
After working a while both designing and programming, I'd see that the idea tends to be a starting point within some field that needs to be explored. So when someone is asking for a programmer it could be for a reason that they are looking for a working partner that is interested in the same thing. It's an ongoing process that requires constant interest and investigation. Rather than talking about who's idea it was to start with, it's usually more important if you are at the same level in the career to start working together.
