Very interesting thought.

As someone who often tries to figure out how I can apply my "programmer's mindset" to other areas of my life : can you give more details on how a graphic designer (would/should) think(s) vs how a programmer does? More specifically : how were you thinking vs how you thought you should have thought?

For graphic design, it's a lot about visual experimentation and presentation. With programming, it's engineering a functional solution. Both solve business problems.

I guess it's the difference between the person who builds bridges and the person who paints bridges.

Thanks. The analogy at the end made it clearer ;)
