i have a different understanding. the book teaches a design process that starts of by understanding the problem you are trying to solve, then working out the specification of your program, followed by implementation, followed by introducing tests, followed by code analysis and review in order make correct abstractions to build a general modular code-base that can be used across different applications. i am not sure about your experience, but as far as i know this is a very up-to-date approach in software engineering. for reference here is the chapter on GPS [0], which by the way is the first non-introductory chapter! i think you should work more through the book before holding strong opinions about it [0] https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp/blob/main/docs/chapter4.md https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp/blob/main/docs/chapter4....
