Of course you do... in a pro company that can afford to have that many people. As you say, some small companies double up; and this discussion was in the context of someone saying "I want to learn computer programming so I can write games", which usually implies a one-person project. But if anything, that makes the point even stronger: you do NOT want to start in as a programmer on a project that'll require a lot more than just programming skill.
