作为软件开发人员，我们是工程师，因为我们制造有用的机器。我们既关注机器发挥有用作用的世界，也关注机器本身。这两个问题的相互竞争的需求和吸引力必须得到适当的平衡。如果不能平衡它们，就会损害我们的工作。当然，它必须为软件开发中研究人员和实践者之间的鸿沟承担部分责任。为了达到适当的平衡，我们有时必须与软件开发中根深蒂固的习惯实践和态度中根深蒂固的倾向和倾向作斗争。本文探讨了世界与机器关系的某些方面；找出了一些失真的来源；并提出了一些保持适当平衡的建议。
As software developers we are engineers because we make useful machines. We are concerned both with the world, in which the machine serves a useful purpose, and with the machine itself. The competing demands and attractions of these two concerns must be appropriately balanced. Failure to balance them harms our work. Certainly it must take some of the blame for the gulf between researchers and practitioners in software development. To achieve proper balance we must sometimes fight against tendencies and inclinations that are deeply ingrained in our customary practices and attitudes in software development. In this paper some aspects of the relationship between the world and the machine are explored; some sources of distortion are identified; and some suggestions are put forward for maintaining a proper balance.
