Wow, I didn't realize Software Craftsmanship (capital letters) was a movement, or even an organized thing. One you put capital letters on something and start having conferences, it's probably just someone trying to make a buck off of it. For me, software craftsmanship (lower case) is just having pride in what you are making, and constantly improving your work based on a multitude of things, performance being only a small part of it. Software certainly shouldn't be about adhering to strict processes and principles; software is a creative endeavor. Sometimes you can write novels, sometimes you can write haiku, sometimes you can write sonnets, sometimes you can write long form articles.
