- diego_moita 10y agoI am not. I think CC is a dated book and should become obsolete. It propagated a couple of myths without solid evidence that should be discarded from the software culture (e.g.: 10x productivity of good programmers, the cone of uncertainty). Also it advocates an approach that, although valid for some areas (NASA labs, embedded systems), is not valid for a lot of the software culture (web development, startups). "Pragmatic Programmer" and "Clean Code" are much better readings, IMHO.
