Why Programming Is Less Rewarding Than Designing
Reactions towards designers:
“Oooh that’s shiny & pretty, I love it!”
Reactions towards programmers
What the hell man, you had as much time as the designer, why aren’t you done yet?
Dude, that button’s not working. Fix it. Now.
And why doesn’t this do what I expected?
Why the HELL did that throw an error?
AAAARGH!
IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT FFS!
And once development of a project starts, these start dripping in
“Yeah, well, I don’t quite like that button – restyle it.”
- “Ok, I’ll send it back to the designer then.”
“Nono, you do it.”
- “But I’m not a designer”
“Don’t care, just fix it fast.”
- “Ok, here’s the result”
“What in GODS NAME is that? Where the hell did you learn to design?”
- “…. “
Ever had the feeling a designer just receives a lot more appreciation than a programmer? And it so often feels like we do all the hard work …
(And I bet Designers share the similar frustration towards programmers – we seem like competition, yet we have to work together all the time)
Haha yes….
Also the fact one might write a beautiful abstract object that makes you happy for the rest of the day but no one else will really appreciate it.
Are you sure?i make open source application for free and its better opinion rather then normal customer why?
1.U programmer just want money
2.normal customer want just fast beutifiul and easy ui which for programmer was a dam freaking lot of code.
3.programmer and analyst want $$$.Give more money we give more complexity and UI.
share share more money more ui friendly
I don’t know about that. If you’ve ever had to work as a designer on a project, you’d know clients can be way more picky. Not to mention they’ll force you into places you don’t want to go as a designer.
It’s not really any different than being a developer (or a thousand other jobs, I’d bet).
Developers earn much more than designers. Besiders programming isn’t only about web.
