Yeah, I posted elsewhere in this thread that I'm a big fan of Jack Reeves' essays on "code as design"; namely, that the code is what's important, and the design is just scaffolding.

"The following essays by Jack W. Reeves offer three perspectives on a single theme, namely that programming is fundamentally a design activity and that the only final and true representation of "the design" is the source code itself. This simple assertion gives rise to a rich discussion—one which Reeves explores fully in these three essays."
