I remember my first serious job in tech as a designer at Intel (I was such a baby), and @iain was always joking about "bespoke hipster software" and "digital artisans".
now I'm seriously thinking picking up those words unironically...

@hbons@mastodon.social @iain@kolektiva.social go for it! Get weird! That’s what the Software Craftsmanship Manifesto is - likely unintentionally, but still unironically - all about: pre-capitalist artisan work. We’re master carpenters and stonemasons.

@hbons@mastodon.social I have also, totally independently, been thinking about "artisan software" recently, both in terms of craftsmanship and independence!
