Research into how humans interact with computers has a long and rich history. Only a small fraction of this research has considered how humans interact with computers when engineering software. A similarly small amount of research has considered how humans interact with humans when engineering software. For the last forty years, we have largely taken an artifact-centric approach to software engineering research. To meet the challenges of building future software systems, I argue that we need to balance the artifact-centric approach with a human-centric approach, in which the focus is on amplifying the human intelligence required to build great software systems. A human-centric approach involves performing empirical studies to understand how software engineers work with software and with each other, developing new methods for both decomposing and composing models of software to to ease the cognitive load placed on engineers and on creating computationally intelligent tools aimed at focusing the humans on the tasks only the humans can solve.
