After seeing so much negativity and controversy around this book in the comments, I'm quite convinced to giving it a read.
I've seen so little "engineering" in software world, regardless of the company and how many ivy league devs it hires to be fully convinced that a work of encoding software engineering knowledge is worth the effort, and even attempts like this are valuable reads in such a gigantic vacuum, even just to start a discussion and to be able to disagree on definitions and practices.
I love the notion of having standard definitions and practices that are specifically not agreed on and will be argued about every time they come up.
To move forward you need a starting place.
