Pragmatism Spreads
Published November 25, 2003 by John
Continuing to build off the appeal of a “pragmatic” approach to software development that emphasises the craft of software rather than the academic or theoretic approaches, the pragmatic duo have a new collection of books out that they call The Pragmatic Starter Kit. Their ideas are refreshing reminders of why we do this silly thing of developing software - because we love it, and when done right it can be a grand thing. The bureaucracy that can arise around any group-oriented process, though, has tended to shift most discussion towards management aspects of the process rather than the individual skills.
These guys have a gift of showing us things which are sometimes too obvious for us to see, and reminding us to truly care about what we do.
