  Great book, read it too some years ago. I'd really recommend for anyone who wants to think a bit critically about these topics for oneself and just repeat techno mumbo jumbo all day long :-)

  This book is good! I would recommend "Making Software: What Really Works, and Why We Believe It" for the inverse - a positive empirical case for things that do work (with some discussion of things that have been studied without rejecting the null hypothesis). It's not a contrarian take so not quite as readable, but it's overall better to have answers than be able to quibble with the proposals of others.

    Thank you. I’ve not heard of “Making Software”, but I’ll give it a read. I’m always fascinated by what people believe, both about software, and in general.
