    I understand that, I was just wondering how they find enough stuff for them to do everyday, I'm a little ignorant about how you would keep a designer occupied full time working on just one product.

      Much like programming, design is never finished. I can imagine a designer working full time on improving the experience of an application like Basecamp. Even more if the designer works on stuff like SEO, analytics, A/B tests, etc.

      Just like how there are a million lines of code that could be improved, there are always a million design tweaks that can happen. Nothing is ever perfect the first time. As a designer, I often have just as much work as the engineer. I also implement a lot of the front end including css, html, and JS so it's not just pure photoshop.
