A collective devoted to the craft of software engineering where expertise is transmuted into joy.

In ancient times, alchemy was a blend of philosophy and pseudoscience before rigorous measurement and testing, based on qualitative facts and figures, was applied. One aspect of this era, was the Philosopher's Stone which could transmute ordinary metals into precious metals like silver or gold. It was also thought be the elixir of life which could cure illness, restore youth, and grant immortality. None of that came true but, in today's age, we have the rough equivalent of what the ancients were seeking: software engineering. With software, we have an endless supply of human thought and creativity that is constantly being transmuted into solving real world problems through new products and services.

In a nutshell, that is what this collective is all about. We are taking the craft of software engineering, building expertise, and transmuting that into joy and a life worth living. That said, creating quality software which meets user needs requires time, attention to detail, and rigorous discipline. Software should be ethical and do no harm by protecting user data and privacy, enhancing lives through the automation of the mundane and the dangerous, and bringing joy to users. That journey starts here.

Please join us to learn, share, grow, and elevate our profession as a whole. Together, we can redefine software engineering and it's role in the world!
