So I read this wonder book over the past 2 weeks. A lot of good general advice that many people may or not think about while programming.
A solid must read if you plan on coding in a team of more than 1.

And whilst I may not agree with everything in the book, the first section: "The cat ate my source code" is probably the single most important chapter ever read regarding programming and real life.

Yeah, it's a good book. Practices of an Agile Programmer ain't bad either. Though when you code by yourself they're not super helpful.
