> Is The Mythical Man-Month still worth reading, considering it was written in 1975 when I was 6!?
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! :)
