Are you familiar with "the art of unix programming" by ESR? It's in the same vein as what you describe. It even has an appendix with buddhist-like dialogues!

- tabtab 8y agoWhile there are some nice tidbits, end-user software tends to have a different profile of needs than infrastructure software or middle-ware. I guess what I'm saying is that I'd focus more on end-user software in such a book. That's not necessarily the same as UI design, but for example, less about generic API design to be used by a million other developers, and more about in-shop API or stack design for say 20 developers.
