"Uncle" Bob Martin - "The Future of Programming"
Paul Stringer's Mobile Tech · 10 recommenders · 10 months
Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) traces the history of software from 1948 to today, looking at the problems programmers faced, how they were solved, and what mistakes the profession made. He then projects where the field is going, including professionalism and regulation.
Why Hacker News readers recommend it: HN recommends it as an engaging overview of programming history and an argument for professional standards, citing the agile manifesto section and the claim that software has advanced little since the 1950s.
