Writing code, making software
Digital infrastructures often appear as fascinating devices, both incredibly complex and perfectly ordered. While these infrastructures are the subject of much discourse, we know little about their production and maintenance practices, especially given their scope and diversity. How is the software...

Digital infrastructures often appear as fascinating devices, both incredibly complex and perfectly ordered.

This text provides a theoretical backdrop to introduce the contributions of the special issue. In order to go beyond the mythical figures (hacker, geek, entrepreneur) and to escape the algorithmic reduction, studying software as it is written offers multiple outlets for empirical investigation.
