Reality, though, is you are often better with a larger, disciplined team of regular programmers. They may not come out with an elegant, breathtakingly slick product over a long weekend, but you can draw up a schedule and be sure of hitting your milestones. And they don't get insulted over having to fix bugs. If you have some artists, run them through the trenches on some projects and then yank them into design. Their talents are much more valuable doing design. Yeah, I had a guy like that working for me many years ago. He was kind of a loose cannon in terms of adhering to any of our corporate standards but was a very creative guy. Anyone who had to work on his code had trouble with it, though.
