Our Commentary ​

I really appreciate Robin Rendle's style of writing. "Software is a feeling" perfectly encapsulates what some of us, engineers, designers sense. Sometimes it's hard to describe, but still - the software feels just-right. If you're into reading a bit personal, but still - engineering journals - then this post is just for you 😃
