1962 · Film · documentary · 10 min
Directed by Uldis Brauns
"The Construction is the second part of Uldis Brauns’ trilogy. It focuses on the construction of Daugavpils' synthetic fibre factory, and includes well-balanced, wide-angle shots and dramatic camera angles. The soundtrack is used imaginatively to create new meanings, and to construct metaphor like a musical artwork. The Construction also uses live interviews recorded on set; Armīns Lejiņš, the trilogy's scriptwriter, appears on camera interviewing people." - VERZIO International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival

95% of the time, good software creation is really just construction, not engineering. There are great paradigms and solutions to the majority of problems. There's room for design and UX, but you shouldn't need to custom engineer the walls out of carbon fiber or some aerospace composites unless you're launching the house to Mars. The engineering aspect really only comes into play when no components meet your needs.
The construction metaphor is full of great wisdom to be gleaned as software developers. And I'm not just saying that in hopes I didn't waste all those hours watching History Channel documentaries. :-D
