Today we are going to look at software developers that have come before us, laying down important truths that we would do well to learn and heed. These old text are still as true today as when they were written, sometimes even more so.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that we have entered a period of software dev that is new and different than 30 years ago. This is simply not the case, a new language or technology doesn’t change the fundamental underpinnings of how we design and develop software. We still use functions, arrays, booleans, if/else, and all these require us to assemble them together using our minds. As long as humans are involved, these principles will be here to guide us.
