I've stated my opinion, I mentioned that I did it myself, placing affiliate tags on book links (in the comment you're replying to), no I didn't want to draw attention to my own blog because it would have been off-topic and yes, I gave explanations in this same thread.
What you're doing is a direct ad-hominem btw. I don't need qualifications to infer that it's impossible for somebody to read 132 books on some of the hardest topics in CS. We also have different definitions for what "value" is.
- incision 13y agoYou've completely missed the point on multiple counts. Discussion isn't a zero-sum game, you don't have to do battle with every comment.
- bad_user 13y agoSorry, tough period, I'm very bitchy lately, I hate winter holidays.
- DannoHung 13y agoCan you please call out which books are bad though? That's some very useful information. I know I've read books that were garbage that are very highly recommended. (Code Complete as a "guide to the craft of programming", for example is extremely poor when compared to The Pragmatic Programmer). And even if I disagree with your judgements in some cases, it's good for calibration.
