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.
Does everyone need to have read it though, in order to understand its premise?
Surely they were at least aware of the basic premise that adding people doesn’t necessarily speed up delivery?
