Developer Manifesto – You Are an Artisan, Not an Engineer
I was expecting an article focussing on how making software is not engineering said to myself, &quot;not this again.&quot;<p>But the article isn&#x27;t arguing that, the article seems to be arguing we are something more than engineers.<p>There is a subtle implication that engineers are hyper pragmatic and the only thing that is important is that it works. My wife who is a biomedical engineer and makes robots might disagree. In fact, I don&#x27;t know many good engineers of any kind that stop at &quot;just working.&quot;<p>I think this artisan argument could also be applied to other types of engineering as well.<p>However, the title is slightly off, it should probably be &quot;You Are an Artisan, Not JUST an Engineer&quot; --- the two aren&#x27;t mutually exclusive and the author even acknowledges that in the first paragraph.
