header text: Programming as theory building - Peter Naur (1985)
Pinned
A wonderful article by Peter Naur written in 1985 but quite insightful on these days of shallow reasoning:

Naur, Peter. “Programming as Theory Building.” Microprocessing and Microprogramming, vol. 15, no. 5, May 1985, pp. 253–61. DOI.org (Crossref), doi.org/10.1016/0165....

Today I had the bittersweet pleasure of participating in a symposium honoring the late philosopher Brian Cantwell Smith, a good friend whom I’d known for over 30 years.
