What the hell?


I love programming. It is a hobby for me, as I find it very entertaining to solve these little puzzles people insists calling 'problems'. However, programming for programing is just fun - if we wanna make something really useful we need to pay attention to the world outside, right? That's pretty much why I started researching on requirements when I was a undergrad at UFPE/Brazil.

The research road is a long one, with plenty of time to learn and unlearn things. Specially those little obscure configurations required to use the diverse set of software engineering tools out there (i.e., Eclipse). Thus, I will use this space for sharing my thoughts and learnings on software engineering, hopefully helping fellow researchers on the way.

However, I cannot settle for that. In fact, the real reason I started this blog was to:

  • Estimulate requirements researchers/engineers to program! Yeah, get your hands dirty! Use the power of the machine to make your research even better!
  • Estimulate programmers to pay more attention to requirements! I know, the computer screen is so shiny, so attractive, so... but if we un-delve our head above the code ocean, we may find a fascinating world as well, full of interesting needs and desires waiting to be fulfilled!

So, what's your view on requirements and programming?
