Hi,

To be completly honest this wasn't the book I expected for me also.

There are too many hacks in the book that I think are not usable for most of us, real world programmers.

Not that I think that they don't matter. They do. I learned a lot of tricks with the book, but most of them I don't want to find in my code, or in any code I need to mantain.

It's a good book, but I was expecting usable hacks. Most of them are not. At least I don't see myself using most of them.
