Software Craftsmanship vs Software Engineering
0Software craftsmanship was an important step forward in software development, but it doesn’t take us far enough. Software engineering has a poor history of often being characterised by bloated, overly bureaucratic approaches that got in the way of good software development, rather than helped it, but engineering has to be the goal, because engineering is "the stuff that works”. So let’s look at software craft vs software engineering, which is the better approach and why.
In this episode, Dave Farley, author of best sellers "Continuous Delivery" and “Modern Software Engineering” explores the nature of software craft, and how engineering allows us to enhance it and take it further.
