check "recommended readings" on the right:

starting from Organisational patterns, down. Skip anything there about design/ architecture/ math.

But: have in mind Conway's law - software-produced <=> organisation's-culture. So you can't dismiss entirely either of the two extremes of the socio-techical (human-machine) systems.

IMO, Winnie the Pooh has much more sociotechnical hints than CS university course.
