The Clean Coder: Software Craftsmanship: What it's all about?

Why is there a software craftsmanship movement?  What motivated it?  What drives it now?  One thing; and one thing only.

We are tired of writing crap.

That's it.  The fat lady sang.  Good nite Gracy. Over and out.
We're tired of writing crap. We are tired of embarrassing ourselves and our employers by delivering lousy software.  We have had enough of telling our customers to reboot at midnight.  We don't want bug lists that are a thousand pages long.  We don't want code that grows more tangled and corrupt with every passing day.  We're tired of doing a bad job.  We want to start doing a good job.
That's ... what ... this ... is ... about.  Nothing else.
