From an ol' programmer ....... Much of the creation of software is
centered around the design process done by those who are most familiar
with the process ( permanent staff ). Once that's done you can grab up
some good techies' ( programmers ) and cut them loose on the specs that
were produced by the design/enhancement analysis and specification
process. There was an old saying that a good program was about 40%
actual coding and 60% design and analysis ( the numbers change depending
on who you talk to ).
The places I worked just "chucked" you some requirements and said "get
coding" ( a common practice ) but not likely in this case , to much
public exposure for the final product. So my answer to your question as
a positive "could be either one" with the addition of might be replacing
folks that can't hack pressure programming !
