The document is a transcript from a presentation titled "The Art of Software Gardening" given by Patroklos Papapetrou at DevTernity 2015.

Some key aspects of this analogy include evolving design like a garden, continuous refactoring to remove dead code, treating each line of code with passion, and having skills, best practices, and tools to develop software while withstanding changes like a garden withstands weather. The goal of this analogy is to promote an attitude of care, evolution and passion in software development.

28. Ress Pig Farm
This is the story of how my birdhouses came about. One fall day in 1992, I was hiking through the hills of
Sonoma County and while standing beneath a giant grove of redwood trees I was looking up in amazement at just
how magnificent these trees are. I then looked down and spotted an old piece of barn wood. Looking up again
holding this piece of lumber in my hand I realized just how beautiful this wood was. With ideas running through
my head, and a single piece of lumber in the bed of my truck, I headed toward home thinking of different ways I
could use it. I ended up building a box that holds my BBQ tools that’s still in use today.
At Christmas time, I decided I would make gifts to give out of this old barn wood. I needed more wood to
create these gifts, and as fate would have it, my first stop I came across the dilapidated remains of what was once
the largest pig farm in Sonoma County and was welcomed to it. Bingo, all the old redwood barn wood I could use!
For years my creations were built from this one source. Many giant redwood trees were cut down in the early
1900’s, to help turn Sonoma County into the “chicken capital of the world.” I regretted seeing all this old growth
redwood go to waste after the barns collapse, and glad that I was able to create so much art from it.
Creating these one-of-a-kind birdhouses and bird feeders is magical. I love to build whimsical miniatures of
historical buildings that are fully functioning feeders, nesting boxes, or both! I prefer not to mass-produce my
birdhouses in order to keep them unique, and sign and date my creations.
By recycling this old redwood, I’m excited to be preserving a part of Sonoma County history. Built 1992
