Another one of your fascinating links :) - thanks for sharing.

Great quotes.
Is The Mythical Man-Month still worth reading, considering it was written in 1975 when I was 6!?

if you recommend it, I shall attempt to get a copy and add to my (rater long) reading list.

    Though first published in 1975, The Mythical Man-Month was republished in an anniversary edition with four extra chapters in 1995, including a reprint of the essay "No Silver Bullet" with commentary by the author.

    Brooks' elegant writing style, unusual in books about computer programming, made it a delight to read for me.

    I'd say it's mandatory reading for managers of large software projects (though not for programmers). The funny thing is that in the 1990s (when I read it) this book had a cult following among my programmer friends ... and yet none of our managers had read it! :)

      I read it in 1990 and found the same thing.

      I wasn't aware that it had been republished. Obviously, I read an older edition: '75 original or '82 reprint — I don't remember which.

      Something for my Christmas Wish List. 🎄 🎁 📘
