Is Software Development a Craft?

AJ: Is software development a craft? It can be. I think that programming, there are people that all they want to do is just be code monkeys. There are other people that want to discover the more streamlined process and optimize around certain trade-offs. A while back, we had Tommy Liertach on our show. He used to work with me at Wix. And he built an entire website and did a lot of research around a story about the history of programming.
