  Personally:
  I don't mind developing. I like the challenge of figuring out code and making things come to life in interactive and web based mediums.

  Professionally:
  Let the nerds crank out the back-end. That's their job. If they can do it 100x faster than a designer/developer then what's the point of spending your valuable time deving with you could be designing? I run into this at work occasionally because I have some intermediate web knowledge. Even though we have a dev on hand he get's "too busy" to handle his workload. I kindly explain to them that yes, I can do it but I will undoubtedly go way over budget in doing so because I don't have the chops to crank it out quickly enough.

  However:
  I could see designer/developer being a strong asset to a smaller studio or organization. Probably not so much for a larger company or firm. It all depends on what role you'd prefer to take on.

  • Yeah, I like the initial challenge, but it gets boring after I solve the problem.Jugarelly
