Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.
“As data and science become more accessible and more the production of software and AI, human creativity is becoming a more valuable commodity.”
Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr

“It doesn’t take a huge amount of knowledge and skill to get a program working.
Kids in high school do it all the time.
Getting it right is another matter entirely.
And when you get the software right, something magical happens: You don’t need
hordes of programmers to keep it working. You don’t need massive requirements
documents and huge issue tracking systems. You don’t need global cube farms
and 24/7 programming.
When software is done right, it requires a fraction of the human resources to
create and maintain.”
Robert C. Martin., Clean Architecture
