Amidst the rapidly evolving landscape of software development, it’s essential to question the prevailing coding culture and its alignment with the principles of software engineering or maybe engineering in general.

Are we genuinely practicing software ENGINEERING, or are we merely engaging in some superficial coding exercises?

How aligned are we with the term “Engineering”?

Engineering implies a disciplined approach, with emphasis on rigorous planning, analysis, and a focus on long-term stability.

However, the fast-paced nature of today’s coding culture often prioritizes quick results over meticulous engineering practices. Mere rush.

It’s crucial to assess how aligned we are with the term “engineering” in our software development processes.

Driven by Purpose

Do we approach software development with a deep understanding of the problem domain? Or are we rushing to churn out code without sufficient analysis and design?

Embracing purpose-driven development allows us to create solutions that align with the intended goals and deliver real value to users.

No conclusions

As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of software development, it’s crucial to question our current coding culture.

or should we strive more for embracing the term “engineering culture”?
