- Programming as Theory Building by Peter Naur emphasizes that programming is about building a mental model or understanding of the program, its requirements, and their context.
- Maintainable code practices like clean code, architecture, documentation, and tests are all aimed at communicating the program's design intention, which aligns with theory building.
- Viewing programming as theory building connects disparate concepts like design patterns and Domain-Driven Design as tools to communicate the program's theory effectively.
