Joe Armstrong on Programmer Productivity
this is partly why I advocate a <i>slow code movement</i> similar to the slow food movement.  instead of sprinting I would like to walk to the destination, avoid the pains of broken ankles and repairing shoes whilst running in them.<p>I would like to explore to find a sane and reasonable approach and not be driven by artificial deadlines guessed at three months ago but by todays business need.<p>i would like to actually be measured on business value generated, not lines of code written.<p>I would like to improve and simplify, deliver real value and savour the joy of actually creating.<p>this may of course explain why I feel totally unproductive at times
