Both flavours are accepted, because either of them will contribute to
your personality.
In fact, I must say that many of the books that had a major impact on
my professional development were not about computers at all.
Haha, titlul este interesant. Nu am citit cartea asta si nu m-am
ciocnit cu problema data (situatiile in care ma aflu intotdeauna
includ in sine oameni mai inteligenti ca mine :-) sau oameni care vad
lucrurile intr-un mod care exclude intrebarea in general:

DAR, eu as sugera carti autobiografice a unor personalitati
interesante - din ele desprinzi modestia indirect, urmind exemplul lor.
Si daca vorbim despre aroganta programatorilor, cel mai bun curs de
tratament este sa lucrati in technical support citeva luni si sa fiti
in contact cu oamenii care utilizeaza produsul vostru. E usor sa crezi
ca ceea ce faci este 100% zmeuriu, cind nu esti niciodata impus sa
citesti mesajele disperate a clientilor, sau sa vorbesti cu ei la
telefon. Te afli in zona ta de confort, zgribulit in fata monitorului,
iar clientii sunt la mii de kilometri distanta si niciodata nu-i vei
vedea la fata.

Am vazut citeva interviuri cu ei si cred ca ”humblețea” lor e la un
nivel potrivit :-)
Pentru a economisi copaci, va recomand sa priviti aceasta prezentare
de la Google I/O, in care ei discuta intrebarea respectiva:

De fapt, ei au mai multe video-clipuri de asa tip, filmate la Google
I/O, eu am privit citeva, nu tin minte care era cel mai zmeuriu, dar
tin minte ca l-am privit pe acela care incepe cu
{
- Hi, I'm Brian Fitzpatrick, people call me Fitz
- Hi, I'm Ben Collins-Sussman, people call me Ben Collins-Sussman
}

I agree, we definitely need books that will never become obsolete.
Actually, one of my favourite people and role models keeps an old
rusty book about C in his drawer. It is from the times he was a
student, the pages are yellow, it smells nice, and he goes through it
every now and then :-)
Your suggestion about Vim - the toughest part of programming is in
thinking about what to write, not in the actual process of typing.
So I would rather think of books that teach you how to think in
general, not books focused on a specific instrument (be it Vim, GCC or
GDB).
Nevertheless, the candidates are added to the list, thank you for your
input.
