at your company, wherever you work, what would you guestimate the ratio of programmer to pure-designers is? 50/50? 20/80? 1/99?

It really depends up on the type of clients the company is focused on. Ive been places where I was the only designer and kept 3-4 developers busy; one place was a 50/50 split; my current situation would take 3-4 designers to employ a full-time developer.

- they must give you a ton of work, so you can keep the other busy.akrokdesign
- Work load is pretty constant but the sites these guys build can take a developer months so Im not having to pull long hours or anything.slappy

My department has one. I do both.
I noticed that there are more coders in the government, most likely because they already have templates and guidelines which everyone has to follow (for the most part) anyway.

Started as designer now a 'developer', but not a coder... the word coder reminds me Mountain Dew, Black Hair Ponytailed, World of Warcraft addiction, LANs, Windows.
Lately though I've been thinking of concentrating on design.

At IBM, on a given project its anywhere from 5-20 to 1. I have 3 - 5 projects at a given time.

how about code based design, processing? generative actionscripting? something else? coders as designers, vis-versa? thats cool right, like kerus.
