LiMo Foundation Blog: Zen and the Art of Mobile Software Management
NOTE: The excerpt below is taken from the LiMo Foundation Blog.
By Richard Kinder
Vice President, Technology Red Bend Software In his 1974 book, “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,” Robert Pirsig argues that embracing both the creative, “in the moment,” and rational views of the world may afford the individual a higher quality of life. Pirsig expressed this concept through the description and exploration of a long distance motorcycle journey across the United States, contrasting the approaches toward motorcycle maintenance of the two central characters in the book. I shall explore the same concept through the medium of mobile software platform development and maintenance. Perhaps I will even succeed in drawing some parallels! Should mobile technologists strive to understand intimately the systems that they work on or instead rely on an intuitive feel for what is right and “in the moment”? Clearly, as Pirsig suggests, we need to embrace both. Without a rigorous framework and approach, a software platform becomes a “bag of bits.” On the other hand, without freedom of creative expression within such a framework, opportunities for innovation and revolution are removed.
