The Mythical Man Month should really be a mandatory reading for anyone working in software… and I don’t mean reading a Claude summary

I asked who hadn’t read that in an engineering meeting recently. No one had heard of it. Now, I have been in tech for my entire life. That book was given to me in 1993 as I was just starting out in college.

NO ONE in my meeting was familiar with the title or author.

I felt a little more impending doom upon realizing that.
