Would you rather be a master developer who can design, or a master designer who can code?

Question

Everett Berry · Accepted Answer

Master designer who can code.

Stefan Morris · Answer

Learning to be a great designer is much harder than learning to be a great developer, so if you can cover the design side, you've conquered the hard part.

Clément Jacquelin · Answer

Option 2. I'm a master designer who can code. 😌

Alina Ihnatiuk · Answer

I think I could be the main developer. I like to create more with 0

Linus Rogge · Answer

personal preference, option 2 it is. while I enjoy doing both, I currently focus on designing a lot more, with still wanting to learn more about the coding world

Iris Park · Answer

Both sounds awesome! And both of them are important.

Clément Jacquelin · Answer

(Or just a padawan for the moment)

Maxwell Davis · Answer

Either one would be better than my current position of neither!

Dimitris Karavias · Answer

Pick whatever you're best at! There's infinite opportunities for great designers and great developers, and the lines are getting blurred by the year.
Don't pick the "optimum" skillset based on someone else's opinion.
