Clearly … and obviously … the idea of Software Gardening is not mine. But as I have already mentioned once or twice … I like it a lot.

And it is also something that we have adopted here at Nitro Engineering as a guiding principle for our daily actions and daily habits.

When we found the Japenese Garden in Powerscourt Gardens we discussed architectures in architectures (sub-architectures) and that this can work as long it is confined and does not bleed into the rest of the garden …

A day to remember …
