Summary (TL;DR)
Software craftsmanship emphasizes developers' coding skills over financial concerns. It evolved from agile development, using medieval guild metaphors. The Manifesto for Software Craftsmanship values well-crafted software, steady value addition, community of professionals, and productive partnerships. Key events include conferences, the first Craftsman Swap in 2009, and founding of the London Software Craftsmanship Community in 2010. Influential works include The Pragmatic Programmer and Clean Code.
