Well, offcourse the software will be bad if the design is bad. (do you need
to read a book to know that?)
Also, there is no such things as 'coders'
There is one thing. a programmer.
A good programmer does everything. good design. good code. good testing.
good debugging. and good gathering of requirements offcourse before everything.
This 'design' vs. 'coding' is an artificial or managerial view of the
real world. One can't just hit the keyboard without knowing what there
are doing. if they do, then they are bad programmers. nothing else.
So, get off this 'coder' vs. 'designer' mentality. This is only created by
those who have little clue about what software is all about. (Like authors
of books on 'software engineering' who could not write a 2-lines program
if their live depended on it)
