        I suppose, but the books being “promoted” are each over 30 years old. The Psychology of Computer Programming was originally published in 1971. Becoming a Technical Leader was published in 1986.

          What’s more, the books have very much held up. ‘The psychology of computer programming’ is still considered an insightful book on the subject, and is still in print.

        That’s right but I thought that short text was worth a read and reflection a thought.
