At the risk of firing up this age old debate. I would like to propose a different perspective on these arguements. I suggest this because there are some like myself who listen to both sides and can get stuck in gridlock. My perpective is as both a programmer and business owner.

I don't care who gets stuck with the extra work. My DBA, my designer, or my programmer. The work needs to get done. When stuck with two competing concepts, I think the answer lies in cost.

Tell me, which approach can I afford to implement?
