Ya. I loved Code Complete v1. Loved it. Such a great snapshot of a period in time.

Mostly, Code Complete is a model for how to think about thinking, a self examination, how to do introspection.

A current superior example of this strategy is Dan Luu. IMHO.

Dan’s writing is really informative. I also really admire the way that he uses Twitter. I’ll often see a recent tweet from him that is part of a long running topic thread that he appends to when he has something new to say.
