Today I stumbled upon an interesting manifesto. No not that one, the software one. A call to arms for all professional software writers, as opposed to code monkeys. Link for those who wish to skip my blabbering. It isn’t very long, which is good because I don’t sign stuff I don’t read. It is and I quote:
As aspiring Software Craftsmen we are raising the bar of professional software development by practicing it and helping others learn the craft. Through this work we have come to value:
Not only working software,
but also well-crafted software
Not only responding to change,
but also steadily adding value
Not only individuals and interactions,
but also a community of professionals
Not only customer collaboration,
but also productive partnershipsThat is, in pursuit of the items on the left we have found the items on the right to be indispensable.
A noble and worthy goal, I signed. I would also encourage anyone else who holds these to be true to sign as well.
