(2015-06-11) Ford What Is Code

Business Week produced an entire issue based on a 38,000 word essay by Paul Ford called "What is Code?" The online version is the "real" thing.

Good summary.

Good backstory.

Sept16 update: Paul gives more backstory. But in the end, we did it. Notice that I referred to “we”; by the end of the process 50 or more people had worked on every line of the piece, made it fit in print, enhanced it on the web.
