Random thoughts about agile software development as an art
Well, actually that was one of the things I wanted to do in 2006, but I didn’t take the time to do it, so I thought it would be good to start a blog now, early in the year, and hope that once the blog is there, I will keep on posting…
I will try to write down my thoughts on programming and software development as an art in contrast to engineering. And, if it is an art, I think that software should not only satisfy the needs and requirements of the end-users, but should satisfy certain aesthetic aspects as well.
So I named my blog “Ars Subtilior”. Ars Subtilior is a musical style that was developed in the late 14th century in the Provence. The meaning of it is
a more subtle art
and this is what I’m striving for when I write software and what I want to write about here.
