I wrote up something for work, about the path from code review anxiety to masterclasses as a possible participatory future. The general thesis is that programming is both art and science, and so is creating the organizations we build our software in and with, but we are missing a lot of opportunities to learn from each other the way artists learn from each other.
I don’t think it needs to be this way, and the work of getting from here to there will be worthwhile. Not just to give us healthier inner lives and healthier teams, but maybe to help us build more humane software at more humane organizations in a more humane world.
