Attended a game workshop session by Mark Skaggs, creator of Farmville. At one point he asked all the programmers to raise their hands. I love to code even though i aint an expert in backend db related code. I raised my hand. Then he asked all the designers to raise their hand. I love to graphic design as a hobby even though i aint an artist. I raised my hand again.
He noticed and said "Interesting..."

It made me question which trade i should focus more on. I still have years ahead to master them but should i give up one for the other?

Would be cool to hear your thoughts on this!

    It's fine to do both, but I would focus on code as I think design is easier to pick up, so if you need it, it'll be easier than picking up code.

    @tpalmerstudios Cool. Never thought it that way.

    IMO, coding skill is something that can be acquired. But for design skill you need some kind of "talent" or "creativity" that cannot be acquired as easily.

    So I'd say learn how to code if you can do the design already... And if you can't do design well, asking someone to do it for you is a lot easier than trying to do it yourself.

    PS. I'm a dev who always use the default Bootstrap style 😂
