Classic books for tech leads or those aspiring to be
I don't know if it's a good list for tech leads, wannabe or otherwise, but one could do worse in choosing three books.I do take issue with the the Mythical Man Month blurb, though. My copy has disappeared from my bookshelf again, but IIRC the "adding more people makes it later" bit was just one of many essays in that book, but it's the only one people ever mention. But it's the one that allows us all to pretend we read it. Quick quiz, hot shot: what did you think of the surgery team metaphor? Another thing few mention about MMM: at least some parts are noticeably dated. (But without a copy in front of me, I don't recall which parts.) So, good book that we probably all should actually read instead of just spouting about nine pregnant women, but not all of it will be relevant today.
