Nice work Ryan. I've been reading through these, and "Code is Design" is roughly similar to something I was trying to explain to my manager not too long ago, but I couldn't quite put it into words. I just sent him a link haha.

The parallels between software and physical construction are pretty amazing.

Yes, these are excellent, and goes into much more depth than the brief article I wrote.

Very kind of you to say! I came up with the metaphor when needing to explain this to a semi-technical person as well, so we've had similar needs there.
