I think I should have read this book straight out of my engineering degree. There is so much intricacies in the software development that people I know struggle through their life to learn. A must read for any coder who wants to stay so for the times to come(no matter what tech-tides are).
Its a very objectively written book; ideas explained will make more sense if you have already faced a software version release or have already been part of every step of the product life cycle(complex product the better).
I would suggest this book for every new grad as this fills the gap between what industry needs and what education system produces and the gap between high standard coders and the low standards.
Also I see that in India where people are oblivious to learn new tricks of this new trade(until they are forced to), there would be need to go through the book, we cannot continue to write shitty code and still be paid.
Final words; the words and ideas put in this book are perennial in nature, so it does make sense today(15/11/2017) and so would it in the times to come. Don't pick it up for experimentation. This handbook is only for people who want to know/be part of software development with full devotion.
