I don’t think that book has aged very well. Maybe half of it is still good advice, the other half is very outdated or plain wrong.


I'm not the kind that takes advice from books at face value or with a dogmatic "this is what the expert do" attitude; I think the biggest lesson of that book is a great explanation of "what complexity is", which is something I've seen lacking in many colleagues


I read the book quite recently and thought most of it was still relevant. But wouldn't regard it is one of the best programming books from my pov. It was a good read though.


Hasn't aged well since the 2nd edition in 2021?

So basically it doesn't cover AI tools well enough?


What parts are wrong? Be interested to know.
