- Hands up who’s a programmer? Who’s a designer or artist? Who has to work with either?
- As you can tell by my t-shirt scruffy beard and cheap jeans, I’m a programmer
- Used to be so easy. Programmers aspergered away built ugly systems that everyone had to use because they’d be fired if they didn’t
- Designers sipped lattes and occassionally pumped out branding documents and ad campaigns, but never the twain shall meet. Until along came
- The web! Suddenly had to work on the same projects. At the same time! Some context: In the late 90’s my first job out of college was at a consulting firm I cannot name for legal reasons,
- but name is anagram of panties. Enterprisey consulting firm, running workshops and business consulting and building enterprisey systems. Programmers wore shirts & ties.
- For banks and local governments and phone companies. Then along came The Web, suddenly competing with hip sexy design firms. Bought a couple.
- Called the “creatives”. Tensions rose. Business PMs didn’t know how to deal. Programmers saw them getting better workspaces and hardware.
- Designers crushed because they were being asked to sprinkle pretty over shitty sites. General meeting, new VP of Creative.
- Coding is an art too. At best, It’s creative solving of problems. Code can be elegant or beautiful.
- This is it. Trying to do your best before time or money runs out. [Slide written at 1am the night before the deadline for submission]
- Hugs available after the show.
