Re:Designers are more valuable than programmers by gaius on Tuesday January 24, 2012 @03:19PM (#3506530)
Very funny. Reminds me of when I worked in consulting. Let's say there were 3 months to do a project. For the first 11.5 weeks, the designers would be arguing about "mood boards" and whether icons should be round or square. Then in the middle of the last week, they would hand over to the programmers a directory full of Photoshop files and say "build this" (usually the first time the programmers had even heard about the project was now).

Then the programmers would be blamed for the project overrunning. Designers need to be kept on a very short leash. Designers who can't program what they design are worse than useless.
