Software is a peculiar wonder born out of the ingenuity of the new alchemist of framework, databases, design, and code. This Oracle attempts to alleviate the tension of those who have to make solutions out of the intangible. It rescues the essence of the ancient archetype of the artisan, with all the creative autonomy they possessed before the arrival of the industrial bourgeoisie and embodies it in the relationship between the software maker and his computer. It is a love-hate, symbiotic relationship that operates in a challenging and demanding world often pushing this artisan of our information age to the brink of stress and despair.
