Does anyone know of a conference that takes a wider view of the job of programming? It has always felt to me like the focus is all about our tools, because tools can look cool, but I'm interested in the process of starting with a messy list of requirements and getting to a completed project in the most successful way, which is often the real challenge in my work.



Not sure if it has the flavor you're looking for, but software-engineering conferences focus largely on that aspect.


There is a whole Software Craftsmanship movement with a bunch of conferences around the world.
