The Power of Pragmatism

The Power of Pragmatism
in Software Development

The best developers I know are pragmatic, open-minded, and focused on solving problems rather than pushing opinions. I explore how individuality and flexibility lead to real growth and innovation.

I know some smart people in my industry. Not only do I enjoy exchanging ideas with them, they also enrich my own wealth of knowledge.

What do the really good ones have in common? They are pragmatic. They have seen a lot and speak from personal experience. They break rules because not everything goes according to plan. They help others move forward with their solutions instead of insisting on their own opinion.

There are so many paths and possible solutions. The really good ones support you in your own vision. Show you ways to improve yourself. They won’t try to push you onto one side. Nevertheless, they will be able to show you alternatives that can be helpful for your problem.

Individuality is the key. Every problem deserves to be considered independently. Dogmatism will destroy diversity and real growth.

This phenomenon is multifaceted. From processes, infrastructure, architecture, to the actual software solution.

There are some very exciting times ahead of us. The hype is loud. The subsequent solution is modest.
