> The art lies in the process, not in the result

nevertheless, I often deceive myself into thinking that I am inventing a new design. In reality, I am usually just being shaped by the IoC model imposed by the framework and by the pressure of business requirements.

Only the scale changes. Similar problems tend to leave similar structures behind.

Sometimes it feels as if earlier generations of programmers have already solved so many of the important problems that all that remains for me is rediscovery.

But I do not want mere rediscovery. I want to create a new kind of problem. Still, in front of the solidity of established engineering, my small mind sometimes feels as if there is no place left for me.
