Totally disagree with this. I've worked with plenty of fantastic programmers who are basically worthless without the guidance of a good lead/producer/designer.

- ateevchopra 13y agoA programmer is not a designer. Both are completely different fields. What you are saying is that a shark(programmer) cannot fly like an eagle(designer). But it sure can swim. And vice-a-verse.
- acron0 13y agoHmmm, no, to mimic the analogy I am saying that just because something has teeth doesn't mean it can bite like a shark. Just because something has wings doesn't mean it can fly like an eagle. A budgie with a jetpack, however, can probably fly better than an eagle. Or something.

- xixi77 13y agoI love this GUI. Gives a clear view of what can be changed, and so much more user friendly than having to remember where each of the nested (often so many times!!) options goes. "Advanced..." buttons everywhere are the worst, and don't get me started about wizards.
