Designing user interfaces is another thing that is high on list. There are exceptional ones that do combine domain knowledge with technical ability. Good luck with finding enough of them and getting your organisation to pay them what they are worth so as to retain them. Alternatively let those with the requisite domain knowledge design business rules, and if these people happen not to be programmers by trade (as is often the case) then you need to come up with a language they can communicate their specifications in such that all stakeholders can participate in the design process. A programming language is not the right vehicle for that and typically that suggests that a programmer is not the right person to do it.
