I didn’t really give my craft the focus it deserved, until I discovered my purpose. Your purpose tends to evolve with time.

my purpose: Make It Easier For Others
my craft: Software Solution Development

Once I started really applying myself to my craft I noticed that a lot of what I had percievedd problems fell away. Decissions became easier to make, as I could simply ask myself “As a craftsman what is the right thing to do here”.

You’ll notice I added the word Solution into my craft as I’m not here to just write code, I’m here to develop solutions that add value; to the people that use them, to the organisations they are for, and for the next developers to extend them.
