That is interesting. Which parts of the process would you want to be involved in, and why would it make such a difference in the time needed for the delivery of the feature?


Being involved in the discussions about what features we are going to implement usually.

Right now we have a designer making mock up pages for me and we have a deadline. He is adding a fair bit of stuff that will need to be done with a mix of back end code and JavaScript. If we do things slightly differently I can code most of it in Django. If we do it exactly as he has done, i will need slightly less Django code, but the same amount of code again in JavaScript. Plus I find it better to have as much logic in the back end, rather than jumping between JavaScript and Python to work out where bugs are.


Well, yes I agree to everything you said.

The designers must always collaborate with the engineers, if that's not happening it's bad project management :(

I also approve your tech/engineering choices :D
