Strangely enough, it's more modern, but many of the concepts mentioned may be more alien to young programmers. How many will know what's meant by keypunch? Timesharing? RATFOR? Listings? The email address in the header?
BTW, the title (and text) refers to the book "Real men don't eat quiche", a pastiche of the genre that would later bring produce the weirdly unironic classic "Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars".
