I don’t disagree with the general viewpoint, but I’m not sure why all the vitriol. The idea of software craftsmanship is just an over-correction on the earlier prevailing perception of programmers as nerdy assembly line workers. These days programming is a well-paid and well-respected job, and we can probably just ignore those with weird chips in their shoulders from either side.
- gorjusborg 6y agoSame here. I read this because the headline resonated --- nobody does care which programming language you use, they care about the results you provide for them. What I got was a story about first idolizing a stranger only to be disappointed by them, to the point where the worship turns to disgust. Why do I care? He's just a guy who shares his thoughts publicly. He doesn't need to be better than anyone else. Don't worship people and you won't be disappointed when they don't fit perfectly into your ideals.
