fingolfintek 's review for:
The Pragmatic Programmer: Your Journey to Mastery, 20th Anniversary Edition
by David Thomas, Andrew Hunt
Another one that makes it hard for me to precisely articulate my thoughts and feelings towards it.
Firsty, I can't really say that I've learned anything from the anniversary edition that I didn't already know. The writing was at times tacky and yes, it did at times feel like something from the self-help shelf... Then why the heck did I love it so much???
If I had to guess - and I guess I have to - it's the sheer geekiness and joy for the craft that rubbed off on me: for someone who truly, madly, deeply loves programming, it felt strangely heartwarming to read the text written by people who seem to love it more, even after all the years they spent doing it.
So, if you're a programmer, too - give it a read. Spread the love.
