Interview with Alex Martelli (via Daily Python)
I've come to realize that my intuition of 25 years ago was rather correct, that software is not truly an engineering discipline, and much of that realization came from seeing excellent engineers striving hard to make it one, and failing over and over again. But at the same time as I was confirmed in my estimation of the subtle and ambiguous nature of software, which is at least as much about the strengths and limitations of the human mind and of human social communication as it is about computers, at the same time I gradually managed to perceive as its strength, its source of unending interest. Bridge is much the same: the rules themselves are rather simple (although their deep structure may give rise to profound, non-obvious results, as I showed in my research), but the game still yields unending fascination, because it's all about human interaction within that reasonably simple technical framework.
