The Awkward Road

This blog is about the peculiar nature in which software sometimes gets developed. I hope that many readers will recognize the relevance of data science in the examples taken from my own projects. I propose that development is the product of creativity more than accreditation. Creativity is something complicated that interacts with a person over his or her life circumstances. Many people know how to write . . . However, the ability to write well does not necessarily make an individual a good novelist or creative writer. Taking into account the relevance of creativity as force in the process of development, it is necessary to recognize the importance of a person's life whether or not its events are specifically related to any particular undertaking. I will be detailing the meandering way that I personally tend develop software. I don't follow a straightforward path characterized by planning, schedules, and deliverables. Development for me tends to be sporadic, meshed in the details life, and closely tied to my interests. So it is rather non-business-like. I am not a professional programmer.
