I remember when those books came out and puzzling over them, especially the Modern C++ Design. It's hard to describe what it felt like back then, the promises that these techniques were making, how exciting it was and how differently software development practices have evolved. That's what I love about writing software, even after 30 years in the trenches. There's always something new to discover and then draw conclusions about how it's different from what you thought 5 or 10 years before. I don't know if I would recommend these books today but they are undeniable classics.
