Re: Should a programmer be a driver too?
I am 1625's lead programmer and aux driver. It works out well for us, we have had no problems with it. We had a team discussion about having a programmer in a driver position and the team voted that it would be best for the team to have a programmer be a driver. It gives the programmer a much better idea of how the alterations in the code are effecting performance instead of having a driver try to explain what needs to be tweaked...

So far it has worked out great for 1625.
