Take to twitter and let's see what people come up with. Or answer here, but keep it short, really short.

Software Development is for people who have a life and imagination. It's not for twitter-heads.
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Just out of interest what's my take away? What was the point? Was it a joke? You are a "Protector" so I am guessing you are on Code Project a great deal. I am wondering what the goal was. This is not me being snarky, I thought about trying to be snarky but I am not good at it. I tend to sound mean when I try to be snarky. Perhaps you were trying to be snarky? Not that you sounded mean. I really have no idea what to make of your post. I feel like I should pay attention cause you have creds. Maybe not.

He was joking for gods sake. The use of the word 'twitter' is an invitation for jokes here. That's the take away.

i.e. you didn't get the joke. It's the CP Lounge, eh? Look for a joke, before looking for trouble.

... a great way to meet girls. Girls who signed up for a programming class accidently. And then realized that they couldn't do it (note that this does not include the great many female developers who actually rock!). Then realized that there were a bunch of guys eager to help them. :cool:

Just going out on a limb here but I suspect Marc was in fact being snarky while trying to express the sentiment that #SoftwareDevelopmentIs way too broad a subject to sum up in 140 characters.
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

Yes, snarky. :) Actually, I totally forgot to click on the "joke" icon.

Dang, you are TOO nice. OK, here goes: Software Development is the process, partly art, partly science, in which a repeatable (albeit possibly highly complex) process (notice the fractalization?) is analyzed sufficiently such that the process can be reproduced in code, including accounting for random events such as user input. A bit more than the 140 character limit, but it's hard to get the entire concept whittled down to its bare essentials. [edit] I should get brownie points for what I think is actually the first serious answer you've gotten. [/edit] Marc

First "serious" answer here. I appreciate that this is the Lounge and Jokes are pretty normal. I really did not get it as a Joke, and still don't. I appreciate that people here think twitter is a Joke, just as people on stack overflow think that Code Project is a joke. At least those that have heard of Code Project. I tend not to pay attention to what is common knowledge. In any situation there are any number of things that are obvious, intuitive and wrong. :)

It seems you didn't got the idea of the Lounge...Nothing serious here (except the RIP posts)...

And not even those all the time... By the way, did you hear the Leslie Nielsen died? Oh, and I know this is a repost, but I still like this one a lot: Version 1[^] Version 2[^] Version 3[^]

The lounge is one of those places where one has to tread carefully as there can definitely be a high degree of hazing (perhaps too strong a word) that goes on. I'm curious, why were you interested in this "Software Development Is" survey? Marc

Despite my 30+ years in the industry I am not naive to the fact that there are corners I have not spent time in. I am wondering about other peoples experience. The idea of using twitter came from: 1) The twitter discussion between Ron Jefferies [^], Robert Martin [^] and Gregory Brown Gregory Brown (@practicingdev) | Twitter[^] about Uncle Bob's Programmers OathClean Coder Blog[^]. Obviously missed it when it originally came out. 2) I did not think most people would put in the time to write a "complete" answer just for my curiosity. 3) I wanted to hear from people that I do not know. Obviously I can ask my friends and co-workers. 4) I believe there is power in forcing oneself to be concise. 5) I do not have sufficient interest to read even 15 pages from each of my friends on the subject, much less from a larger audience.
