Craft is ..

I just stumbled on a note I made before Christmas on a tweet from Brian Marick that provided a definition for craft . I tweaked it ever so slightly.

Craft is ..

obsession with quality,
tamed by discipline,
attentive to technique,
with a gut feel for structure
and awareness of context.
