Does anyone else here never read programming books?
- josmar 9y agoThey are a great ladder for when one wishes to climb up the shoulders of giants. Much can be learned in blogs, but long-form text is not that easily replaced. That said, my books-to-read list is ever growing as well...
- psyc 9y agoI think I've read fewer than 5 programming books in 30 years. For the most part, I don't read about programming. For certain specific problems, I'll read articles or watch talks by people in my field who I respect a lot. Mostly, I just write a lot of code, observe what I don't like aesthetically, and think about how to make it better.
