What Makes
the History of Software Hard (pdf)
Michael S. Mahoney
Creating software for work in the world has meant translating into
computational models the knowledge and practices of the people who have been
doing that work without computers. What people know and do reflects their
particular historical experience, which also shapes decisions about what can be
automated and how. Software thus involves many histories and a variety of
sources to be read in new ways.
