YES! That's two bingoes in one evening (earlier I responded to somebody
who mentioned Timothy Lister) -- I think I read The Psychology of Computer
Programmers (-ing?) in the 70's, before I even got involved in software
myself, just because it looked like a _good_ piece of writing.
Once again, crossfertilization at work. Weinberg's book is a solid and
entertaining analysis of how personality and temperament look and work in
programming. Even though languages and environments and platforms have
changed, people haven't, and the book is still a beauty today, with a lot
to say to us. Thank you Johanna...
