On the advice of a fellow Perl
Monger I ordered copies of Parkinson's Law
and The Mythical
Man Month. Turns out I am familiar with Parkinson's
observation that "work expands so as to fill the time
available for its completion" (and how), now I'll read the
book. I'll also finally read Brooks' work in its entirety.
And someone in the office was throwing out McConnell's Rapid Development
so I snagged that, too. I have at least a good month of
reading aside from the 17 or so- yes, I've lost count and
yes, a dozen are computer-related- periodicals I already
receive.
