> I’d much rather get something working and then hand it off to someone else who can refactor it for speed and clarity, and have it conform to the desired style conventions, etc. etc. I've been on the coding end of this - when everyone actually has those fixed roles and goes into it eyes wide open, it goes pretty well! When instead the PhD is assigned to go do the feature, and then the programmer is called in later when it's not implemented well, it tends to go quite poorly and nobody is happy, as everyone's time is wasted.
