I have been thinking a lot lately about what "professionalism" means in software development. I recently read Clean Coders (Martin, R.), which talks extensively about this issue, and Pragmatic Programmer (Hunt, A.; Thomas, D.), which touches on it as well, and it is clear that this is an issue that evokes strong feelings among many developers. It got me thinking, to what extent are the lessons in these books (and others) actually practiced in the industry? What do today's software professionals have to say about "professionalism"? With the goal of answering that question, I put together a short survey, the results of which I plan to share in a future article. If you're interested, I'd love to get input from fellow HN readers. Thanks very much for your input!
