Finding Joy in Visible Plumbing
What I came to understand a few years ago: when it comes to writing software, I love creating “visible plumbing”. Let me explain. When I talk about software development, I use the term “plumbing” to describe backend systems, all the usually invisible infrastructure stuff that makes things work. Sexy headline stuff? No. Important? Absolutely. “Visible plumbing” is the stuff that helps people achieve their goals and do their jobs, like personal automation.
