Their story takes us through a maze of dead ends and
exhilarating breakthroughs as they and their colleagues
wrestle not only with the abstraction of code but with the
unpredictability of human behavior, especially their own.
Along the way, we encounter black holes, turtles, snakes,
dragons, axe-sharpening, and yak-shaving—and take a guided
tour through the theories and methods, both brilliant and
misguided, that litter the history of software development,
from the famous “mythical man-month” to Extreme Programming.
Not just for technophiles but for anyone captivated by the
drama of invention, Dreaming in Code offers a window into
both the information age and the workings of the human mind.
