Consistently and reliably delivering good software solutions.

Just like a master woodworker would consistently and reliably deliver good furniture.

Or a master author would consistently and reliably deliver good books.

The key points are:

* Consistent - It wasn't just a fluke or luck, you know what you're doing and can repeat it.

* Reliable - You know how much effort it will take and can deliver it.

* Good - It's not crap, people want it.



What if a woodworker is an employee of a big org? (IKEA?) None of your points regard interacting with people downwards and upwards.


seems like there's an intersection with mastery of product design there
