Joe Armstrong on Programmer Productivity
this is partly why I advocate a slow code movement 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.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.i would like to actually be measured on business value generated, not lines of code written.I would like to improve and simplify, deliver real value and savour the joy of actually creating.this may of course explain why I feel totally unproductive at times
