Yea, but I guess I was looking for something deeper, because at the outset, I'd be a little offput by the suggestion to read it and any disagreement about my disagreement on it. And I fully understand the issues described by the above parent. The book comes off as a bit opinionated with the blinders of a Linux kernel development and 80-90s attitude about open source software. That's a pretty narrow focus of software development.

For example:

> Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch.

I've written good software professionally, but none of it was kickstarted by my own personal itch.
