Synopsis

Many programmers still see their job primarily in terms of writing code they statically feed into a compiler. In contrast, anyone employing a programmer sees their job primarily as creating timely value for users of dynamically running software. As programming matures both as an overall discipline and as an individual practice this gap is slowly closing in both directions; programmers are learning not to separate design from construction; they are learning minute by minute and day by day practices to help them fight complexity and plot paths away from project cancellation and towards delivered software. The talk examines the differences between code and software, programming as an individual versus a social activity, failed and successful projects, simplicity and complexity, and the elusive concept of quality.

This talk was first given at SPA-NE on 9th December 2004.
