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. :)

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.

It seems you didn't got the idea of the Lounge...Nothing serious here (except the RIP posts)...
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

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

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
You mean it's possible to get out of here alive? :confused:

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.

If you like, or something of similar size here. Honestly this was a lark, and I have already spent more time explaining it then I had planned. I thought it was interesting and wanted to know what others here (many with a great deal of experience and some with little experience) thought about what software development is. :)
