Title
Software design as story telling: reflecting on the work of Italo Calvino
Abstract
ABSTRACTAre we really writing software? What do software writers have in common with other professional writers? What can we software developers learn from professional writers? This paper proposes a reflection on such topics using as a reference the book “Six Memos for the Next Millennium”, a posthumous essay by the Italian novelist, editor, and literary critic Italo Calvino. A comparison is drawn between such work and the current principles ruling how software should be written and developed, and a claim is made that this is an area worth further exploration.
