Being Myself
Sustainable Software Development; I know a little about it. Its all about the longer term benefits of taking the time to do things properly. Or at least going back to tidy things up after a deadline required short cuts.
I understand that money is the primary motivator in business, and that fail fast is not a valued principle; trying to buy time is a common practice. But what if money does not motivate me? I don't want to go hungry but fancy cars and clothes don't motivate me either. I'd like to produce what I consider elegant solutions. Lots of different ones.
If all my desires are sacrificed on the alter of pragmatism, am I really alive? It seems I'm just trying to find a way to be myself when I want to practice Sustainable Software Development. Or maybe I just need to go hungry for a while. Either way, I see some risk taking in my near future.
