Jim's Review

🐛
Even worms write code these days, and this is THE book to level up your craft. The 20th anniversary edition is completely rewritten — not just a fresh coat of paint. Tracer bullets, DRY, orthogonality — these concepts will make you a better developer overnight. Every programmer should own a copy.
