About Matthijs Langenberg

I'm a 23 year old software developer from The Netherlands. I ♥ working with Ruby and Rails, doing iPhone development, using git … whatever makes me feel like pro. Currently working for a great company called Nedap. Feel free to contact me at mlangenberg@gmail.com or give me a tweet @mlangenberg.


Good software engineering also includes creativity, vision, multi-disciplinary thinking, and humanity. This observation frees software engineering researchers to spend time on what does succeed — building up a body of collected wisdom for future practitioners. We should not try to make software engineering into an extension of mathematically-based computer science. It won’t work, and can distract us from useful advances waiting to be discovered.
