20?! More like 60 or 70, especially if around distributed systems and Dijkstra's work in general. [1]
It's amazing how some people are familiar with every framework of the month and don't understand how a computer works...

- tomc1985 5y agoMaybe I was in the wrong subsector of this industry but there was very little theory work in the jobs I have held. A lot of it was just reusing the same design patterns over and over again, and then scaling that out somehow. I did not mean my comment to say that seminal works in CS theory are useless, just that most of the books published in this field cover more practical matters and they tend to age very quickly. Like I have an e-bookshelf full of Packt freebies back when they did that, and those books aren't really that useful now unless I want to start on an old version of something.
