The MM-M: O Melhor Livro de Software?
You will find dozens of lists of "Top 10 Books on Software Development". But how can you really trust a list? I will explain one of the criteria I use to choose. And taking advantage of the previous video, about why blockchains are not silver bullets for everything, let's look at the origin of the phrase Silver Bullets. The book The MM-M is possibly one of the books that I would consider mandatory for anyone who is serious about Software Engineering, particularly how to manage a software project. But isn't a book published in 1975 outdated? Isn't Agile the modern way? Let's break these and many other myths that many of you must still have about agile software management. When I recorded it, I said that I didn't know where I had first heard about this book, but I went through my old emails and accidentally found it. It was on July 27, 2002 (so I was right, 15 years ago), and it was on Slashdot.org, exactly on this page: https://web.archive.org/web/200404120... Here it is for posterity :-) Links: The MM-M (https://www.amazon.com/Mythical-Man-M...) Peopleware (https://www.amazon.com/Peopleware-Pro...)
