 Gamasutra - Features - "Soapbox: What Ever Happened to the Designer/Programmer? " [02.22.02]
Furthermore, any programmer knows that coding a game is full of "little" decisions that no amount of designer forethought is going to be able to anticipate, yet it is these programmer choices that ultimately establish the elusive "feel" of a game.
Though a designer/ programmer may not add every last feature to the project, if the gameplay is not turning out as hoped, at least a designer/programmer can step into the code and adjust it until it's perfect.
In part this may be because programmers are so rare that those a company does find need to be programming constantly and not spending half their time working on levels or writing design documents.
