@nielspflaeging I recently learned about an article from #PeterNaur from 1985 that looks at programming as Theory building and found the idea itself very interesting. Thanks to @ewolff for bringing this to my attention.

Shoutout to @eli_oat for the paper recommendation. Programmers, put your fists in the air for Peter Naur's "Programming as Theory Building."

(Or, if you disagree, just go back to your "text production".)
