Oftentimes, people forget the magnitude that software has changed the world. Over the past few decades, every industry has been advanced by "strapping" a computer to a process.
Whether that process is flying a plane, manufacturing a piece of machinery or tracking the output and projection of an industry. It is hard to imagine our lives without computers and the software they power.
Software is unique in many ways but, one special way is that almost no software exists for itself. It is almost always built with the spirit of a toolmaker. You are creating a special tool to enable an industry, a process to enforce safeguards and even more. Keeping this in mind, there is a huge gap from a no-name allen wrench shipped with flatpack furniture to ensure you don't call and complain, to a Snap-On ratchet and even further to a trace gas analyzer built for a spacewalk. All of these are tools. Software is no different.
We often ignore the ubiquitous power we wield with computers. We are able to harness technologies that have taken centuries to be able to conceive and create. With these machines created, we can interact with technologies that were unthinkable even a few short decades ago. A greeting card that plays music that you purchase as an afterthought has more computing power than the Allies had during WWII. We are working with the most powerful machines that humanity has ever dreamed of.
We are building the software of the future, keeping people, processes and potential at the forefront of progress. We implement our craft with the utmost concern and work to realize the amazing possibilities that lie ahead.
