More than 20 years on and still as much to say

I'm currently re-reading The Mythical Man Month 20th Aniversay Edition and I've just finished watching Apocolypse Now Redux. Both seem to have as much to say now about their respective subjects as they did in the day. Brooks' treatment of the "Joys" and "Woes" of The Craft as poignant as Coppola's tale of the lies and horror of war.

The "Mythical Man Month" is a classic. I love the quote, "The programmer, like the poet, works with pure thought stuff."
