Programming against design, who is the best?

[ArtUA]

Hey Guys,

Recently I had a bet with my friend and colleague at the same time
He is a programmer and he was telling that application doesn’t necessary require the good design. It can go without.
What would you think?

I think it would be easy to exceed him in any endeavor.

Honey, you can program whatever to your heart's content and without any care in world.

It's maintaining the program that is the hell on wheels, and it will be seven times hotter for each missing good design principle.

Hey Guys!
Wow, Thanks
Such kind of discussion is a normal thing between programming and designing departments in our studio (artua.com). I liked your posts and certainly I'll drop them to him

 

[georgedwilkinson]

Wow, you found that useful? You guys must do quite a bit of bantering.

In addition to Banana's always incredible advice, I'd like to add that it's much easier to initially program a system that has been properly designed, too. I'm just way too lazy to build a system without first designing it correctly.

Then comes the maintenance.

You can't optimize without design.

^ Beautiful.

I think I've used some of his applications before, did he help build Windows Vista?

Programming without prior design is like going for a long walk in a dence forest without a map and compass.

You are off to the dark side, never to return again.

Good metaphors! Are you designer?

Designer/Programmer...

I design what I program prior to programming it.... Works like a charm
