Hello

Hi to everybody! 

This will be my place to publish articles about topics I find interesting in software development. To me, software development is both a craft and an art form. We still do not produce software, but we write software. Every piece of code we create shows our thinking and our personal style. 

In its best moments, the writing process of software flows uninhibited, and out comes beautifully styled code that is made to last. Experience shows that these flow moments are not so common. The reality of business makes compromises inevitable. How can we still maintain clarity and quality given the demands of today's fast-paced development schedules and ship-it-by-yesterday demands?

It is my wish that this blog may show ways how to stay on top of the development process. Many topics are of course controversional. We software developers love to argue what is the best editor/compiler/library/indenting style. Anyways, constructive criticism and comments are very welcome!
