Subject: [9fans] New book (Not entirely OT)
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 20:20:02 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44671b480909160120y63d483fbp1455fdd42300ae78@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

It's probably a bit hypocriticalist of me to post anything off-topic
at this point, but why break the habits of a lifetime?

Some people here might enjoy a new book from Apress called "Coders at
Work". It consists of interviews with people including Ken Thompson,
Don Knuth, and Jamie Zawinski (key quote from the latter: "C++ is just
an abomination. Everything is wrong with it in every way.")
