Sacred Games is now on the reading list.
I shall have a look at Geek Sublime at a bookshop and decide then.
Quote about an earlier book from another interview...
"Sometimes even you can look at something you wrote six months back and be baffled. So the programmer’s job becomes that of, “a person should understand, by looking at a particular section of code exactly what it’s trying to do and exactly how it’s doing it”. One step beyond is that if you can do something elegant rather than a jugaadu solution. Often that also leads to better functionality."

- vishnugupta 12y agoJust in case anyone is wondering; "jugaadu solution" == "duct tape solution"
- keithpeter 12y agoYes, I've been researching the word and those carts. In my local area, some younger men took over a shop, made a long table from chipboard and lumber, got a banner printer and some PCs and started up a design/banner business. Just set it all up in a couple of days and started working with local clients. They seem busy. http://india.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/11/is-jugaad-going-global/ http://india.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/11/is-jugaad-going-gl...
