Is there such a thing as craft in programming? Our industry changes so fast that it's difficult to imagine anyone becoming a master craftsman.

- petercooper 14y agoYes. At least, a lot of people claim there is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_craftsmanship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_craftsmanship I'm not particularly a fan of the "software craftsman" moniker/movement but I think there can be craft to it. Technologies come and go but programming language paradigms, core algorithms, and fundamental ways of working with code tend to remain similar across the decades.
