Beyond Craft: Revisit Your Relationship with Software Craft
summary
Examines how the Software Craft movement, now a 4,800‑member community, has matured into a codified toolbox that also fostered dogma and elitism. Proposes a Post‑Craft stance that keeps sociotechnical attitudes (baby steps, frugality) while adopting modern practices and tools such as TDD, BDD, DevOps, CI/CD, serverless, and experimenting with generative AI (OpenAI, Mistral) to preserve delivery, maintainability and value.
