Craftsperson or Engineer? Maybe neither.

Prolog(ue)

If you're a programmer, and you follow the blogs, then you've probably drifted into one of the many articles discussing if you're an craftsperson or an Engineer. If you haven't, then here's a couple random links.

Some random thoughts on using Agile in Government Projects.

• In response to Tweet from Tim Swift: https://twitter.com/TimSwift/status/328501366186180608
• See http://cartesianproduct.wordpress.com/2013/04/28/universal-credit-death-march-goes-on/

Safety

I believe that Agile is just as safe as Waterfall. Nuclear Reactors, etc may use Waterfall methodologies, but it's Formal methods that make them safe. You'd think Waterfall would be safer for development because everything is always having to be signed off, but really - it's not. BTW - Formal methods are hideously expensive and are probably overkill for this type of project.
