• Christmas reading: Classic essays on software development
  
  There are many, many books about software development. Arguments made by Conway explain much of what actually happens in software development. So, if you have one developer writing the entire system it will be all entangled, few interfaces and difficult for anyone else to work with.

• The final sustainable edge
  
  When I started reading the book I thought one of the pillars of this was going to be the development of your employees. Given how much trouble software developers have actually implementing “loose coupling” (and the corresponding “high cohesion”) one wonders how much trouble business will have with it.
