In the post-ChatGPT era, learning tech from crafted books is a fading art. Everything reads like it was AI-generated, much like the last two years of O’Reilly titles. The last book truly worth buying: Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann published in 2017, a total page-turner. We’ll miss authors like Fred Brooks, Harold Abelson, Gerald Jay Sussman, Charles Petzold, Donald Knuth, John Hennessy, David Patterson who didn’t just explain tech, they taught it.
