By Rashesh Jethi The well-known Quarry Worker’s Creed, called out in prefaces to books such as “ The Pragmatic Programmer ” and “ Ship While you Sleep ”, posits the notion of IT done right as more than simple engineering discipline – good software development, for example, should not “preclude individual craftsmanship”.
