This applies to our own industry.
For those of us that have been in it for awhile -- keeping abreast of what is going on, reading about "new paradigms" and how they may just be new incarnations of what we have seen before, continuous learning is key.
For those getting started, battle stories can be interesting and provide insight.

Are some that come to mind. Others are there, but it's been a long day and I am a bit burnt.
What do others read for their history lessons?

- stephen 14y agoExactly--I'd love to read more about our industry, but I just can't find the material. It used to be going into Barnes & Noble was amazing, there were so many books I'd find interesting. Not that I by any means have mastered "every single book in B&N tech section", it's just "yet another beginner intro to language XYZ"/etc. isn't fun to read anymore. And so many books (tech and otherwise) have so much fluff, and seem like they could be ~1/4th the size with the same content. (Not true for every book of course.)
